1875 S(San Francisco) Liberty Seated Twenty Cent Piece AU58 NGC Brown Label

The 1875-S Liberty Seated Twenty Cent Piece, graded AU58 by NGC with the Brown Label, is a remarkable example of one of the shortest-lived and most intriguing U.S. coin denominations. Designed by William Barber, the twenty-cent coin was introduced in 1875 but quickly fell out of favor due to its similarity in size and design to the quarter. Struck at the San Francisco Mint, the 1875-S is the most common date of the series, yet high-grade survivors like this AU58 are still in strong demand. This piece displays nearly full Mint State detail with only the slightest trace of wear, retaining strong luster and eye appeal.

With a mintage of just over 1.1 million, the 1875-S saw limited circulation primarily in the western states. The denomination was discontinued after 1878, making it a short but historically rich series for collectors. NGC certification ensures authenticity and grade accuracy, adding trust and market recognition. For numismatists building a type set or seeking a unique conversation piece, this 1875-S AU58 Liberty Seated Twenty Cent offers a fascinating blend of rarity, beauty, and 19th-century U.S. Mint history.
