Description: Though not popular with the public, those twenty-cent pieces which did enter circulation appear to have remained there for many years, as they are often found quite worn. In most respects grading circulated twenty-cent pieces is similar to grading the other Seated Liberty coins. One exception is found in the raised letters of LIBERTY, as opposed to the incused letters of the other denominations. These letters wore more rapidly on the twenty-cent piece. For example, quarters and halves grading Fine must have all letters of LIBERTY visible, while just three letters need to be visible on a twenty-cent piece in that grade. These criteria are presented clearly in the book The Official American Numismatic Association Grading Standards for United States Coins, which also advises that the 1875-S and 1875-CC issues are subject to weakness of strike on the eagle's breast. In addition, the latter is almost always weak on the eagle's upper right (viewer's left) wing.-NGC Research Director David W. Lange
