On the reverse, there is a small scratch from the bottom leaf above the T in CENTS to the S in CENTS, and there is pronounced separation from overzealous die polishing on the bottom serif of the S in CENTS. All these diagnostics are present on this coin except the three horizontal scratches.&#039;</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://coins.ha.com/itm/twenty-cent-pieces/quarters-and-twenty-cents/1875-s-20c-artificial-toning-ncs-proof/a/1136-843.s" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://coins.ha.com/itm/twenty-cent-pieces/quarters-and-twenty-cents/1875-s-20c-artificial-toning-ncs-proof/a/1136-843.s" rel="nofollow">http://coins.ha.com/itm/twenty-cent-pieces/quarters-and-twenty-cents/1875-s-20c-artificial-toning-ncs-proof/a/1136-843.s</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Not sure about what looks like a die clash to the right of the arm, but the die chip appears below the hand, and the serifs on the TS in CENTS look similar to the proof coin, although your pictures are a bit blurry.&nbsp; Interesting, and I would certainly look into it more![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
