Added this 1875-S Twenty Cents to my type set. What it lacks of in a higher grade, it makes up with nice luster, especially the reverse which in hand has a semi proof like eagle.

Agreed, love the luster on it ( it makes a differece)
Gorgeous piece!

I’m glad you posted your own pictures; the obverse Trueview image makes it look like a cleaned AU.
Your shots make it look MUCH nicer, and solid for the grade. Nice acquisition!
Nice pleasing double dime.
Nothing wrong with collecting coins like this!
Whenever I see a really old coin with almost no toning, my mind goes to "it was cleaned". Or- it could have been "restored". On the other hand it might just be "well preserved" in its natural state in a vault in the Mohave desert or somewhere without humidity and heat. Remember those Carson City Dollars, they had that luster. Whatever it is, PCGS says it is a Very beautiful MINT STATE 62
Thanks everyone for your feedback. I don’t usually collect any coins in this grade, but I took exception just because I liked the overall look of it. Thanks. Zack.
A real beauty, congrats.
Wow! It’s a beaut!
Collector since 1976. On the CU forums here since 2001.
Looks like a solid example for the set! Nice pickup!

Very nice!
I just got my first $.20 piece, ever, about two years ago or three…
I waited for a nice one to show up. Mine is 1875 Philly.

Most likely I will upgrade in the future. This coin fills a void for now.
Nice coin. My favorite denomination.

Nice one Zack - congrats! I only ever owned one & it’s been sold. I did like it though:
Interesting denomination - good luck with this!

Nice! A mint state double dime is a great piece for a type set. My 75-s also has a semi-prooflike reverse, so I know the look you're referring to.
Nothing is as expensive as free money.
Nice!! Have you identified the mintmark variety yet?

You coin is very nice and eye appealing!
Several years ago, I wanted a nice, eye appealing AU58 20c piece. I attended several major shows and several smaller shows with none of them producing an eye appealing AU58. Not wanting to go with an MS grade, I gave up and do not have one in my collection.
Something like this?
Very nice example!
