Silver 1875 Seated Liberty Twenty-Cent Piece, a short-lived denomination in American coinage history. Designed by William Barber, this coin features the classic Seated Liberty motif on the obverse with thirteen stars surrounding Liberty seated on a rock, holding a liberty pole with cap. The reverse displays an eagle with outstretched wings holding arrows and an olive branch.

This scarce coin comes from the brief four-year mintage period (1875-1878) of this unusual denomination, which was discontinued due to public confusion with the quarter dollar. The Twenty-Cent Piece represents one of America's shortest-lived circulating coin denominations and was primarily produced at the Philadelphia and Carson City mints.

The coin exhibits a small hole near the top, indicating it was likely worn as jewelry or kept as a memento after its circulation life. This modification, while affecting its numismatic value for purist collectors, adds an interesting element of historical use and personal significance.

Condition Notes: Moderate to heavy circulation wear consistent with age and use. The hole at the top of the coin is the most significant modification. Details on Liberty figure and eagle remain visible though worn. Even gray patina throughout. Some edge wear and surface marks present. No evidence of cleaning or other alterations beyond the hole. Refer to the pictures and in person inspection for condition.
