Owner's Description

A flashy Philadelphia mint coin with swirling frost luster more resembling a coin from the 1880's than one from the 1850's. The rich rose gold surfaces exhibit a characteristically strong Philadelphia mint strike. Purchased from Numismatic Assets.

NOTE: The haziness above the eagle is on the holder, not the coin.
