Here is an 1878 Twenty Cent ... the last of its kind. All of them were Proofs, and there are no games here ... this one did not come from the Canton, China (CC Mint) or any other bad place. What would you grade it?   |

PF-64
Not sure what the line is on the obverse from the knee to the 11th star.

I'd agree with the PF/PR64. It must be the time of the year for Twenty Centers. I love the coin! PG

With the scratch in the right obverse field, I just don't see this as a 65.  |

I think the scratch is on the holder. |

pr details scratched
IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: " It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

billjones - is the scratch on the holder? Doesn't look like it, but clarification is needed here.

I was thinking the scratch is on the holder, so I shall guess PR-65.

PR64, shot at 65. Absolutely gorgeous example of a very scarce coin.

The scratch is on the holder. You guys are good. PCGS graded the coin PR-64, and it is very high end for that grade. It is nicer than an 1876 Twenty Cent Piece I have that is in a PR-65 holder. |
