KEY COLLECTOR FACT: The twenty-cent piece was one of the shortest-lived denominations in U.S. coinage, struck for circulation only in 1875 and 1876.
Historical Context:
Introduced in 1875, the twenty-cent piece was intended to improve small-change commerce in the West, but its similar size and appearance to the quarter caused confusion. Circulation issues lasted only two years before production for commerce ended, making this unusual denomination a short chapter in U.S. coinage. This first-year San Francisco example survives in near-Mint State AU58 with CAC approval.
