The 20 cent piece, minted in the United States from 1875 to 1878, was a short-lived denomination intended to facilitate transactions in the growing Western states. The 1876 Carson City 20 cent piece is particularly notable due to its limited mintage and the historical significance of the Carson City Mint, which produced coins during the height of the silver rush. These coins are sought after by collectors for their unique design, which features the seated Liberty on the obverse and the denomination surrounded by a wreath on the reverse, and their rarity, especially in well-preserved condition.
