Own a unique piece of American numismatic history with the 1875-1878 Twenty Cent Seated Liberty coin. This short-lived and intriguing denomination holds a special place in coinage as the only twenty-cent coin ever issued by the United States Mint.
Conceived to bridge the gap between the quarter and the dime, the Twenty Cent piece ultimately proved unpopular and was quickly discontinued, minted for circulation for a mere four years (1875-1878). This brief production period, coupled with significant melting of existing coins, makes surviving examples highly sought after by collectors.
The obverse of the coin features Christian Gobrecht's iconic Seated Liberty design, depicting Lady Liberty seated on a rock, holding a shield and an olive branch. The reverse showcases an eagle with outstretched wings, clutching arrows and an olive branch.
Each 1875-1878 Twenty Cent Seated Liberty coin tells a story of an ambitious, yet ultimately unsuccessful, experiment in American currency. Its scarcity and historical significance make it a compelling addition to any collection, representing a fascinating footnote in the evolution of U.S. coinage.
