Double Dime Time. Post your Twenty Cent Pieces!

FullHorn · February 29, 2020 8:55PM

Scored my first twenty cent coin today. They made like a 1,155,000 with this date and mm so there should be a few more out there. So lets see them.

Very nice coin.... I do not have one of those....Should add one though....Cheers, RickO

Congratulations on your first double dime.

While 1,155,000 coins were minted, the US Mint melted many over the years. It's likely only about 20,000-30,000 pieces survive today.

Very nice examples!

Always liked double dimes.

Almost bought an ANACS Photograde AU 50 MANY years ago.

Someday, I will add one to the holdings.

I like the quality look of this VF20 '75-CC Double Dime. I purchased it raw not too long ago and it was graded by our hosts as PC20 earlier this year. - Tim

FullHorn, yours is exceptional! (At least to me).

TommyType · May 24, 2020 9:06PM

Here's my CC, graded 25. Difference between a 20 posted earlier, and this 25 is apparently that you can almost pretend to see the L and Y in liberty on a 25.

TommyType · May 24, 2020 9:10PM

A whizzed "AU Details" coin I liquidated quite a while back. I keep the pics just to remind me that, "You really shouldn't have been fooled by that, Tom!"

Jimnight · May 24, 2020 9:20PM

Nice coin!

1946Hamm · May 24, 2020 10:39PM

Hey, I have some of them.

cheezbean · May 24, 2020 11:02PM

I think mine was under graded. It got XF45. What do you all think? My coin pic skills aren't the greatest!

From the Stack's Bowers Galleries January 2012 Americana Auction

Lot #8526. Original Envelope for One of the First 1875 Twenty-Cent Pieces Struck.
Approximately 10 centimeters x 6 centimeters. An interesting and enticing item that would serve as a desirable addition to an advanced collection of twenty-cent pieces and/or Liberty Seated coinage. On the front of this otherwise plain white envelope is written in cursive script: 20 CENT PIECE, 1875 / ONE OF THE FIRST. / A.C. ECKFELDT / FROM W.E.D. JUNE 4. The back of the envelope has the numbers 192.27 and 144.96, as well as random scrawl near the lower right corner. Numismatic historians will recognize that the two individuals referred to on the front of the envelope are Chief Coiner Adam C. Eckfeldt and William Ewing Dubois, at one time or another curator of the Mint Cabinet and assayer. Minimal foxing to the envelope, although grading VG due to several old, sharp folds.

One of my favorite denominations.

Incredibly proud to own this example; PCGS MS63 — the reverse is prooflike in hand

Wow! I like the look of that one and

the reverse is good match for the trade dollar used for your icon.

Has anyone seen a nice '75-P in about the same grade and look of the CC in this post? I am having a real tough time locating the P version with quality surfaces. Is anyone else having a similar problem? Thanks, Tim

Also, is anyone trying to locate the Frost varieties as well? with different obverse and reverse pairings.

kaz · July 16, 2020 7:15PM

My 1875-P has really nice color if tilted as in the 3d photo.

I have a soft spot for the 20c for some reason. I've owned a few, but never one that I really thought was exceptional. The coin posted by the OP has a look that is particularly nice, especially for the grade. I would be interested in doing the short series if it wasn't for the virtually impossible 76-cc.

Here's one that caught my attention. It's perfectly nice for now, but subject to eventual upgrade when the right coin comes along. Strike along the lettering and stars is really nice. The centers - well, not quite as nice. One of my goals is to include at least one coin from each mint in the set, so if I do, something else will need to fill the CC spot. I guess there are plenty of options.

Great double dimes!!! Beauties.

Been collecting for 50 years, and I’ve never owned one.

kaz · July 17, 2020 5:59AM

I like them just because they are such odd ducks; strange denom, Liberty's face looks like a gopher (or other critter, as posted); they often aren't too well struck up, and there is that one impossible coin in the very short series, the 76-cc.

USMC_6115 · July 17, 2020 9:15AM

I have a few lower grade ones.. certainly not like the beauties above

ShaunBC5 · July 17, 2020 9:41AM

On it's way in the mail as of yesterday! I don't know if I'll ever be able to look at it without thinking of Phteven (the dog above).

That's what I am asking about... a '75-P with nice enough surfaces in VF to be collectible. Can't see in the pic how much Liberty text is showing... is it graded Fine?
