1875-S PCGS MS62

This 1875-S Twenty-Cent Piece, graded MS62 by PCGS, represents a short-lived and fascinating chapter in U.S. coinage history. With attractive mint luster and sharp detail, this coin offers excellent eye appeal for the grade.

The Twenty-Cent Piece was introduced in 1875 but quickly proved unpopular. Its size and design were easily confused with the quarter, leading to widespread complaints from the public. Struck only from 1875 to 1878, it became one of the shortest-lived denominations in U.S. history. The San Francisco Mint struck the majority of circulation issues, making the 1875-S the most available date, but true Mint State examples remain scarce and desirable today.

This coin combines solid preservation with historical intrigue, making it a standout choice for collectors of 19th-century U.S. type coins or anyone seeking a tangible reminder of America’s shortest-lived coinage experiment.
