1875-S 20c Liberty Seated Twenty-Cent Piece, PCGS Choice Mint State MS63
Based on recent sales and price guides, its value typically falls in the range of $1,200 to $1,800, with some examples selling for slightly more or less depending on eye appeal and specific market conditions.
Here’s a breakdown of what that means:
- 1875-S: This indicates the coin was minted in 1875 at the San Francisco Mint.
- 20c Liberty Seated Twenty-Cent: This refers to the denomination and the specific design type, featuring a seated Liberty figure on the obverse.
- PCGS MS63: This is the grade assigned by PCGS (Professional Coin Grading Service), one of the most reputable third-party grading services.
- MS stands for “Mint State,” meaning the coin was never circulated and retains its original mint luster.
- 63 is a numerical grade on a scale of 1 to 70, with 70 being perfect. An MS63 coin is considered a “Choice Uncirculated” coin, typically having good luster but may show a few minor distracting marks or imperfections.
Collectors value coins based on rarity, condition (grade), and eye appeal. The 1875-S is a relatively common issue for the Twenty-Cent series, but finding them in high mint state grades like MS63 makes them more desirable.
