1875 PCGS XF-45. 1875 PCGS XF-45.
Lot Title: 1875 PCGS XF-45.
Description: The Philadelphia dies must have been basined differently from those of San Francisco, as even at the XF-45 level, one can see a difference in luster quality. This lightly used example still shows the swirling, swoopy flowlines that are unlike what is seen on most other dollar issues. Considerable lead-grey patina dabbles into the fields yet permits ready appreciation of well-defined motifs. (PCGS# 005296)
Low Estimate: $400.00

Lot #AuctionCurrent Bid or Hammer PriceDescription
620The Collectors' Auction 2013 on 10/18/2013$1,400.00
1875 PCGS PF-62.
Blue-grey gunmetal patina fails to diminish the pleasing cameo very much, though PCGS declined to assess this proof as such. Both sides feature exquisite sharpness that just barely lacks a whisper of...
514The Collectors' Auction 2012 on 10/05/2012$450.00
1875 PCGS XF-45.
Martin's Little Consignment. The consignor has given us a pair of 20-cent pieces, this a Philadelphia example that matches up marvelously with a Carson City coin offered elsewhere. Rather heavy...
489The Midwest Summer Sale 2012 on 07/27/2012$675.00
1875 AU.
Possibly cleaned long ago, but if so, then the surfaces have recovered much appeal, especially with a pleasant distribution of cobalt-grey toning within the fields. AU is a nice, common-sense grade...
875The Collectors' Auction 2011 on 10/21/2011$1,350.00
1875 PCGS PF-62.
Gunmetal blue is an absolutely accurate pronouncement of the surface color, as both sides are completely draped in the dark, yet curiously brilliant greyish sheen that is characteristic of that...
876The Collectors' Auction 2011 on 10/21/2011$1,150.00
1875 NGC MS-63.
High grade examples from the Philadelphia mint often have prooflike character, and the reverse of this example is particularly so, with the eagle's portrait entirely textured in very fine mint frost. ...
612The Midwest Summer Sale 2011 on 07/29/2011$1,500.00
1875 NGC MS-64.
Twenty-cent pieces minted at Philadelphia in 1875 are noted for being usually prooflike, and that rule isn't violated here. Liberty's portrait is obviously well frosted, and the fields display some...
613The Midwest Summer Sale 2011 on 07/29/2011$525.00
1875-S MS-60/lightly cleaned/stained, and 1875-S AU/cleaned.
One coin appears fully uncirculated, with no wear apparent anywhere, although the eagle's left (observed) wing is flat at the top joint. Some tobacco color stains the obverse. The accompanying coin...
295The Collectors' Auction 2009 on 10/16/2009$450.00
1875 AU/cleaned.
Skillful wire brushing of the fields has produced a twenty-cent coin with remarkably deceptive luster on both sides, providing very nearly the appearance of a "gem BU" coin. However, prudent...
296The Collectors' Auction 2009 on 10/16/2009$2,800.00
1875 PF-63 Cameo.
Simply terrific contrast is close to being "ultra cameo" and gives this little jewel a spectacular, lively appearance. Although the grade is certainly determined by a few hairlines strewn throughout...
625The Midwest Winter Sale 2009 on 02/13/2009$450.00
1875 XF.
Subtle mint luster rests beneath the concentrated, original pewter-grey patina that dominates both sides. A few more handling marks than average can be found throughout, and this fact is taken into...
626The Midwest Winter Sale 2009 on 02/13/2009$525.00
1875 NGC AU-55.
Superb originality and with strong enough details remaining to earn the mid-AU mark.
436The Collectors' Auction 2008 on 10/17/2008$600.00
1875 (VG) and 1875-CC (F).
While the 1875-S is by far the most common twenty cent issue available, this lot consists of two of the much tougher issues, the 1875 and the 1875-CC. The Philadelphia coin displays lovely, original...
437The Collectors' Auction 2008 on 10/17/2008$1,350.00
1875 PCGS PF-62
Hazy graphite toning indulges this entire coin, lightening just a little on the obverse devices and around the reverse rim. Not many hairlines can be found, but they are liable to be subdued by the...
441The Collectors' Auction 2008 on 10/17/2008$910.00
1875 NGC MS-61
Philadelphia strikes frequently appear prooflike, and this coin is no exception; the reverse could qualify as a cameo! Despite the initial appearance of a much higher grade, examination of the obverse...
450The Midwest Winter Sale 2007 on 02/09/2007$775.00
1875 PF-60 Cleaned.
At some time in its life it was cleaned, but it appears that some russet toning has began to form around the devices. If you need one of these for a type set and you don't want to sell off your first...
520The Midwest Winter Sale on 02/17/2006$3,200.00
1875 PCGS MS-64.
This brilliant prooflike example displays not only satin-like surfaces, with a whisper of delicate russet toning, but also an exceptionally sharp strike. A few trivial ticks and hairlines are noted,...
