1875-CC 20C Twenty Cent PCGS MS63 (CAC)
1875-CC 20C
SKU: 53729288
The 1875-CC Twenty Cent Piece stands as the key collectible Carson City issue in the short-lived twenty-cent series, a denomination born of Western commerce and struck for only a brief moment in American numismatic history. Certified PCGS MS63 and approved by CAC, this example offers strong collector appeal through its combination of Mint State preservation, branch mint desirability, and the enduring romance of the Carson City Mint.
Struck at Carson City during the first year of issue, the 1875-CC traces directly to the legislative efforts of Nevada Senator John Percival Jones, who championed the denomination as a practical solution for the coin shortage that affected the American West. Production began ceremonially on June 1, 1875, at the Carson City Mint, linking this issue to one of the most distinctive moments in the denomination’s origin story. Though the twenty-cent piece ultimately proved short-lived, the Carson City issue survives as the most sought-after regular collectible of the mint.
This coin represents a historic branch mint rarity with a reported mintage of 133,290 pieces, struck from five die marriages. While the denomination itself failed to gain lasting traction in circulation, the 1875-CC achieved lasting fame among collectors as the only Carson City twenty-cent piece generally obtainable in collectible grades, making it a foundational issue for advanced type, Carson City, and 19th-century silver specialists.
In Mint State 63, this example should display pleasing original luster with the bold, frosty character often desired in Carson City silver. CAC approval further reinforces its quality within the assigned grade, an important distinction for buyers seeking premium-certified examples with solid eye appeal and market confidence.
