- 1877 Twenty-Cent Piece. Proof-67 Cameo (NGC). The lowest mintage issue in the twenty-cent series of 1875-1878, the 1877 is a proof only delivery with a mere 350 pieces produced. Proof twenty-cent pieces as a group are scarce coins, and most survivors of even the higher mintage 1875 and 1876 are confined to the Proof-60 to Proof-64 grade range. Gems of the type are scarce, while in Superb Gem this short lived proof series is nothing short of rare.<br /> A lovely specimen with brilliant ice-white surfaces, both sides are also possessed of strong field to device contrast that readily upholds the validity of the Cameo designation from NGC. Fully struck throughout, and free of even a single detracting blemish, it is little wonder that this coin is among the finest proof 1877 twenty-cent pieces certified.<br /> <br /> <strong>Numismatic Reflections by Q. David Bowers<br /> </strong>Offered is a lovely Gem example of the endlessly popular 1877 20-cent piece, the first of two proof-only issues in this short lived series. The grade is outstanding and the beauty of the piece is exceptional. A strong bid is indicated.
