coins \ Coin \ United States of America \ 20¢ (Twenty Cents) \ Twenty Cents \ 1876
The Twenty Cents coin was minted in the United States from 1875 to 1878, with the 1876 issue being part of its limited production run. These coins feature a distinctive design with Liberty seated, surrounded by a wreath, on the obverse and an eagle on the reverse. The Twenty Cents piece was introduced to simplify transactions, but it quickly fell out of favor due to confusion with the quarter. Collectors value the 1876 Twenty Cents coin for its historical significance and limited mintage, making it a sought-after item in numismatic circles.
