1878 20C PR65 PCGS. The less-than-brilliant experiment
<B>1878 20C PR65 PCGS.</B></I> The less-than-brilliant experiment in striking silver twenty cent pieces ended with the production of 600 proofs just three years after legislation was passed by Congress in the spring of 1875. Of course, monumental blunders often correlate into sought-after type coins, and so it goes with the twenty cent piece. Offered here is a simply spectacular representative of this proof-only year that combines sparkling, impeccably preserved mirror surfaces with rich carmine and cobalt-blue iridescent toning. Population: 27 in 65, 14 finer (11/06).<BR><I>From The Temecula Collection.</B></I><BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coin/Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
