Owner's Description

The 1893 is conditionally rare in MS66 and there are only one or two coins graded finer in MS68 (are the NGC and PCGS 68s really the same coin?). The current coin exhibits subdued frosty luster throughout. The strike is exceptionally strong with die clashes evident at Liberty’s throat and below the eagle’s beak. Coppery gold surfaces show prominent orange overtones through much of the fields. Smooth and charming. Heritage 10/10: 4818.
