3134: 1875-CC 20C MS64 PCGS. BF-4, R.2. The shield tip
1875-CC 20C MS64 PCGS. BF-4, R.2. The shield tip points to the left side of the 1, and the second C in the mintmark is close to the leaf. This reverse was later used to coin the famous 1876-CC twenty cent piece. Dusky, deeply toned surfaces reveal beautiful shades of cobalt-blue, lavender, and golden-orange patina when angled under a strong light. A touch of high-point softness occurs on Liberty and the eagle's breast feathers, while the stars, legends, and rims are well-detailed. Small, inconsequential marks are concealed beneath the rich patina. HID03101062020 © 2020 Heritage Auctions | All Rights Reserved
