<p>[QUOTE=&quot;johnmilton, post: 7945764, member: 101855&quot;]I have been attracted to this series since I was a young numismatist in the 1960s. Back then I strived to get the four made for circulation issues, 1875 P, CC and S, and the 1876-P, with a full &quot;LIBERTY&quot;. I succeed in doing that although the 1876-P had some rim issues. The prices paid ranged from $20 to $100.</p><p><br /></p><p>Today I have those (higher grade examples) plus the 1877 and &#039;78 Proofs. I also have the 1875 and 76-P coins in Mint State and Proof. I am still a &quot;Twenty Cent Piece nut.&quot; The 1876-CC, with less than 20 known, is beyond me. The best one I saw at a show was a very nice Mint State piece for a mere $650,000. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie101" alt=":woot:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>The cheapest one I have soon &quot;sold&quot; for $20,000 at an auction almost 40 years ago. I dealer sitting next to me told me that the piece had been &quot;bought in&quot; by the auction house and that that had happened a few times before. It was dark and not attractive.</p><p><br /></p><p>I will post some pictures latter in the day.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
