1876 20C, DCAM PR (PCGS#95304)

August 2020 U.S. Coins Auction

详细说明: 1876 Twenty-Cent Piece. Proof-64 Ultra Cameo (NGC). This awe-inspiring specimen is fully untoned to allow ready appreciation of stark field to device contrast. Frosty design elements are also fully struck with razor sharp detail, and they appear to float atop deep pools of reflectivity in the fields. At 1,500 pieces produced, the 1876 boasts the highest mintage in the Proof twenty-cent series of 1875 to 1878. The Mint undoubtedly stepped up production of Proof coinage this year in anticipation of strong sales in connection with the United States' centennial. While survivors of this issue are plentiful by the standards of the type, few have been as well preserved and are as strongly cameoed as this gorgeous near-Gem. Provenance: From David Lawrence's sale of the Richmond Collection, Part III, March 2005, lot 1394. NGC Census: 1; 3 finer in this category (all Proof-66 Ultra Cameo). PCGS# 95304. NGC ID: 27H3.
