<B>1875-S 20C MS67 NGC.</B></I> MPD-002. The top of an 8 looms above the dentils beneath the prominent 8. The mintmark is filled and lightly repunched. Light aquamarine and gold toning enriches this lustrous Superb Gem, which is well struck save for a few right-side stars. Late reverse dies with a network of slender cracks throughout the border. Remarkably close to perfection, and an outstanding candidate for the finest quality type set. The viewer immediately notices the thick mint frost on this piece, which all the more remarkable considering the presence of the multicolored toning. Although San Francisco struck more than 1.1 million pieces in 1875, the facility passed on production of the denomination in 1876, the only other year it was struck for circulation rather than collector sales.<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coins & Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
