Owner's Description

The Large Date variety is more frequently seen than the Small Date, but neither variety is plentiful in Mint State grades. This piece exhibits lovely frosty cartwheel luster with die polish lines clearly visible on both the obverse and reverse. The strike is strong except for the eagle’s wing tips which appear very flat. There is a small planchet flaw below Liberty’s bun, just to the right of her neck. The reverse die is rotated slightly clockwise. The color is a yellow/orange gold. Heritage 1/09: 5400.
