Owner's Description

This example is a pleasing original coin with rose and green-gold tones. The strike is very strong at the periphery but slightly weak at the center. The portrait exhibits a lot of “meat” indicative of a lightly circulated coin, but there are scattered marks on Liberty’s cheek. Frosty luster is pleasing on the obverse in the undisturbed areas, and is plentiful on the reverse. The dirt that clings to recessed areas on the reverse is pleasing to those of us who crave originality. Purchased from Kagin’s.
