1876 Twenty Cent


1876 Twenty Cent

Circulation Mintage: 14,640
Obverse Text: 1876 | LIBERTY
Reverse Text: UNITED STATES OF AMERICA | TWENTY CENTS

Introduced only the year before, by 1876 the writing was already on the wall for the twenty-cent piece. Never popular due its similarity in size and design to the contemporary Liberty Seated quarter, the final circulation strikes were produced in 1876 at the Philadelphia and Carson City mints. With fewer than 20 examples known, the 1876-CC is a legendary numismatic rarity that is unobtainable for most collectors. The 1876 is collectible, although with just 14,640 pieces produced it is the lowest mintage and rarest circulation strike of the type after only the 1876-CC. Elusive and underrated in all grades, the 1876 is particularly rare in Gem Mint State.
