Struck in copper with a plain edge

Obverse: The obverse is similar to the regular twenty cent design, but LIBERTY is incused as on other Seated Liberty pieces.

Reverse: The reverse is also similar to the regular issue, but the leaves in the branch are slightly different, and the stars between the legend and denomination are smaller.

Comment: The reverse die was used on a number of pattern twenty cent varieties and can be identified by broad repunching on the final A in AMERICA.
