Owner Comments:
I purchased this scarce Philadelphia twenty cent piece at an online auction in November 2020. I have owned uncertified examples of the 1875-S, 1875-CC, and 1876 for some years, so this was the only collectable date remaining for me to acquire, the 1876-CC being an extreme rarity, and the proof only 1877 and 1878 being expensive as well.
While this piece has been chemically cleaned, as indicated by an unusual shade of gray and some blotchy toning, it has relatively few hairlines, is quite well detailed, and has some remaining luster, especially on the reverse.
