Product Details: This is a PCGS Graded Coin. You will receive the pictured coin. You are Buying a 1877 Seated Liberty Twenty Cent Piece graded PR64 Cameo by PCGS. Most know 1877 proof twenty cent pieces lack or have little field-device contrast. Only eight Deep/Ultra Cameos are reported (6/26). The brilliant surfaces glimmer when rotated, producing a stark cameo effect at all angles. The strike is needle-sharp and close examination reveals a few hairlines, which accounts for the grade. Many proof twenty cent pieces are dull, unattractively toned, or otherwise unappealing, not the case here!! The termination of the twenty cent production coincided with the legislation of May 2, 1878, after which no more coinage of this denomination occurred. However, circulation-strike production had been suspended earlier, in 1876, and the only twenty cent pieces produced in 1877 and 1878 were proofs for inclusion in silver proof sets. None were sold individually. The Mint produced 510 proof sets in 1877, composed of 400 delivered by the Coiner on February 2, 1877, and four additional deliveries from October 16 to December 31, totaling 110 additional sets. This is where the Guide Book gets a mintage of 510 coins for the 1877 twenty cent piece.
This is an excellent coin to add to your collection.
