Owner Comments:

NGC graded MS 65 BN
Variety: N-8

This piece is better than most major service graded MS65BN coins I have seen. It is thoroughly pleasing as such. There is a short hairline between stars 9 and 10, a few small darker toning spots on the reverse, and minor unevenness in the obverse toning. But the strike is excellent, the luster is good, and there are no contact marks (other than the hairline).

This coin was the first one I obtained from a Teletrade action, in January 2005. Like-graded coins have since been selling for much more than I paid!
