<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Collecting Nut, post: 25526514, member: 74863&quot;]Twenty Cent Pieces were only minted for circulation in 1875 and 1876. Proof only issues were minted in 1877 and 1978. The design was to much like a Quarter and the public complained. It was basically the same look and size and easily confused by all. It is a very short lived series. </p><p>In the first year, 1975, a measly 38,500 were minted in Philadelphia. Carson City only minted 133,290 and San Francisco minted the most of all years at 1,155,000. This is the most affordable twenty cent piece of all. One can still acquire this date for under $100 if you shop around and want a lower grade.</p><p>The following year, just 2 mints produced a total of 24,750. The following 2 years 1310 coins were minted in proof. For use in commerce it took the place of 2 dimes, which were popular. </p><p>Here is the only one I own, a 1975-S, the highest mintage and very affordable. It has a nice die crack on the reverse from about 6:00 to 3:00 o’clock. This coin would grade as a high EF or a low AU.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1634922[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1634923[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1634924[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
