Hi--and welcome--there is always a certain level of interest in 20 cent pieces as they are integral to a type set of US coinage. While there are relatively few passionate collectors of the 20 cent piece alone, there is pretty high demand for better quality pieces, especially in the scarcer dates/varieties.

The 20-cent piece market is pretty strong as they are fairly popular.

And frankly other than the 75-S they are all scarcer dates/varieties when you consider that the secon most COMMON date, the 75-CC, has a mintage of only 133,290 and they fall off FAST from there.

By the way, even the common 75-S is relatively difficult to find in problem-free, original condition in VF+ grades. But, Conder, you're right...just try to find an 1876...anywhere!

I have a Fine in my collection so I don't have to find one anymore. (I've had mine for over 20 years and they were hard to find back then too.)

I've been able to locate three nice 1876's in the past several years, an XF (maybe VF35), VG, and superb PCGS XF45. Other than those, I really haven't seen any others offered in any dealer inventories I check. I see a few more 1875's but almost never in problem-free, original condition.

I really like the Seated Liberty coins...I think the 20 center is about my favorite. They always seem to be in demand too. It is tough finding nicer condition coins as Prethen said.
