Obverse Description: Dies similar to the regular design as adopted in 1877, but slightly modified, with the letters in LIBERTY farther from the beads than on regular issues of this year; date 1876 lower on the die than on J-1488.
Reverse Description: In the words of John W. Haseltine: in the style of regular issue, but “entirely different from [J-1488]; the TW in TWENTY nearly touch the scroll or label inscribed E PLURIBUS, and there are other slight variations. The whole heraldic eagle design is larger and TWENTY DOLLARS below; in fact, an entirely different die.”
