The 20 Cent Piece, also known as the twenty-cent coin, was minted in the United States primarily in the years 1875, 1876, 1877, and 1878. This coin was introduced to facilitate trade in the western states and to provide change for larger denominations, but it was not widely circulated and quickly fell out of favor. The 1878 20 Cent Piece is particularly notable as it was the last year of issue for this denomination, making it a sought-after collectible among numismatists. Typically, these coins feature a design with the image of Liberty on the obverse and a wreath with the denomination on the reverse. Their rarity and historical significance contribute to their value among collectors.
