Greysheet Catalog Details (GSID: 5046)

The 1876 Twenty cents is part of a series of Seated Liberty twenty cent piece coins struck from 1875-1878. Struck in Philadelphia and designated as a Proof (PR) strike, this coin is made of 90% silver; 10% copper from a mintage of 1,260 struck.
The 1876 Proof Twenty Cent Piece is one of the two proof type coins (the other being from 1875) from the 4 total issues. It is relatively common yet slightly harder to come by than its counterpart due to its mintage of 1,260. This date is decently scarce from the AU range all the way through MS66. The value escalates at a gradual pace through MS67 and at the finest known grade of PR68 (3 total), which are rare. The auction record is from a Heritage auction in 2007, in which one of those 3 PR68's sold for $54,625. As cameo and deep cameo pieces go there is an expected, yet subtle, premium. The survival estimate for the date is 700 although just 189 have a Cameo designation from PCGS and NGC and only 13 exist in Deep Cameo. Deep Cameos are very rare across all Twenty Cent dates.
Obverse: Lady Liberty is seated on a rock, holding a staff, and bearing a shield with the word LIBERTY on a flowing ribbon. 13 stars have adorn the periphery and the date appears at the bottom center.
Reverse: An eagle is prominently featured with the words UNITED STATES OF AMERICA * TWENTY CENTS around the periphery.

About CDN Prices

All CDN prices are based on proprietary market knowledge and technology developed by CDN Publishing, LLC.

CPG® prices represent retail levels. Collectors should refer to CPG values as a starting place for their negotiations, or auction bid reference.

Greysheet/Greensheet prices are wholesale market levels for collectible coins/paper money intended to indicate what a dealer, or wholesale, buyer would pay for the described item in the specified grade. Greysheet/Greensheet represent "sight-seen" values based on a buyer's in-hand review. The actual value can be more or less than this depending on factors including eye appeal and market timing.

Bluesheet (NGC & PCGS) prices represent the highest sight-unseen offers to buy on dealer networks like CDN Exchange. In many cases, there are no active sight-unseen buy offers, so CDN looks to the recent lowest market values for such an item. For this reason, Bluesheet values typically represent the floor of the market for the specified item. CDN only tracks Bluesheet on certain items.

CAC prices are for U.S. coins that meet the standards of the Certified Acceptance Corporation. You can learn more about CAC on their web site.

Price movement is indicated for price changes in the last 30 days.

The prices listed in our database are intended to be used as an indication only. Users are strongly encouraged to seek multiple sources of pricing before making a final determination of value. CDN Publishing is not responsible for typographical or database-related errors. Your use of this site indicates full acceptance of these terms.
