Description
The 1875 Proof Twenty Cent Pattern - J-1412 is a proof twenty-cent pattern struck at the Philadelphia Mint, part of the Metric & Stella Patterns (1874-1879) series. Although it looks like the adopted 1875 design, it comes from different dies: the obverse has a small date and LIBERTY incuse on the shield, and on the reverse the second arrowhead points well above the T of TWENTY and all three leaves point toward the eagle's wing, where the regular die has the arrow at the tip of the T and the bottom leaf toward the T of CENTS. Just over a dozen are known in copper. It is struck in copper with a plain edge. USPatterns.com rates it R-6. It is also catalogued as Pollock-1555, Adams-Woodin 1455 and Taxay EP977. Cataloged as PCGS #61719.
