Owner Comments:

A beautiful white type 3 coin that is very well struck. Although it shows die clash in the fields, the star and shield are perfect without the typical damage as seen on the type 2 coins. The reverse stars are fully struck. The fields on both the obverse and reverse have subdued luster due to the extensive use of the dies. This is one great looking MS63 which I believe deserves a much higher grade.
