It looks problem free so I expect PCGS would grade it, probably around XF-45. I'd want to minimize cost by sending it at the Economy level which requires at least 5 coins. Let us know what happens!

That could be AU. Heritage auction has some that look much worse at AU58. Sold in the $500 range in 2010.

Great find.

Jaobler - What would be the best way to determine what other coins I have that I should send in?

I'm going to get a list tomorrow of everything that was in the bag I purchased. I know the Philippine Peso is in absolutely excellent condition along with the Walking Liberty half, however I'm a bit unsure on the Peso as they don't seem to be worth overly much on the market.

My goal is to sell off a few of these coins to make back my initial investment, then keep the rest.

I agree with the XF-45. These are tough in higher grades - this is a real find.

It might make AU but might not have enough luster remaining to push into that territory. Regardless, a super nice example.

Is it just me, or does the "Liberty" on the shield look a bit off?

Saw a very similar coin listed on a non coin related site. Problem is, this is an 1875 S.....not a Phili mint product.

XF40; if it has some luster remaining around rim, maybe XF45....PCGS is really tight.

I was hoping for you as well. Just don't see 20 cent pieces in this condition.

Yeah, you win some , you lose some, I won quite well on this mixed bag of coins though , I'm hoping that I can sell this coin as well as all the world coins and recoup my investment into it.

Can anyone explain the S/S Error?

It seems to me that the S mintmark on this coin is "Extra Thick" , almost as if it was double stamped. Of course there's not a plethora of photos out there for 1875-s 20c coins , however my mint mark looks a bit different.
