<B>1875 20C Sailor Head Twenty Cents, Judd-1392, Pollock-1535, Low R.6, PR66 NGC.</B></I> Designed by William Barber and nicknamed the Sailor Head design, it is nearly identical to the design of certain 1875 half eagle and eagle patterns. A coronet inscribed LIBERTY adorns a head of Liberty, her hair tied back with a ribbon. The reverse has a shield with 20 and the word CENTS at the lower border. Arrows, leaves, and a glory of rays embellishes the shield with UNITED STATES OF AMERICA around. Struck in silver with a plain edge. More than a dozen separate examples are known of this popular twenty cent pattern. This is a lovely, deeply mirrored specimen that is mostly rose colored on each side with emerald-green accents surrounding the devices. The finest certified at both of the major services.<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coins & Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
