<B>1878 20C PR64 PCGS.</B></I> 1878 was the fourth and final year of the twenty cent denomination. Since business strikes ceased in 1876, the 1878 is a proof-only issue, and is quite scarce since just 600 proofs were coined. The short-lived type focuses proof demand on the 1875 and 1876 dates, but also creates a price floor for the two rare proof-only dates that follow. This decisively struck near-Gem has brilliant centers and russet-gold margins. Evaluation beneath a loupe locates a few faint hairlines across both fields.<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coin/Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
