Owner Comments:
Well, there is nothing much rare about this coin, a fairly common 11-S in a relatively low grade. This coin is very attractive, with a solid strike, and the typical granular frostiness evident on most examples of this date/mint. The thing that does make this coin different is the wonderful frosty luster. Akers has commented in his difinitive work that it's rare to find an 11-S with luster even close to the 10-S or even the 09-S, but this coin has very nice luster, even though it's more frosty than blazing like the many other San Francisco issues of the teens. Overall, it's a very pleasing coin to the senses at a reasonable price for the average collector.
