The 1876 twenty cent piece is a remarkable collectible that draws the attention of numismatists and history enthusiasts alike. Minted between 1865 and 1889 in limited quantities, this coin is often overlooked by casual observers. This example boasts a beautifully toned patina. It was often mistaken for the Seated Liberty Quarter and this fact spelled its demise.
Notably, the last two years of minting included proof-only editions produced in small numbers to avoid confusion with the Seated Liberty quarter. This unique aspect adds to its allure as a collectible item. Also, 1876 mintage was very low at 162,000. 1.94 grams, 75% silver, 17.9mm diameter. This draws the attention of numismatists and collectors as well. CAC has given this a grade of AU Details, questionable toning, but still values it at $750. Questionable or not, it is scarce and gorgeous.
Today, the 1876 twenty cent piece is highly sought after by collectors, many of whom recognize its historical significance. Despite unfamiliarity among non-collectors, its rarity makes it a true treasure worth exploring.
