Ex Simpson Collection


Struck in Aluminum with a plain edge

Obverse: Liberty wearing a cap with three large stars and UNITED STATES OF AMERICA around the bust. The motto "IN GOD WE TRUST" is displayed in a banner beneath the bust. A ribbon crossing her shoulder is inscribed with LIBERTY.

Reverse: The denomination 25 CENTS with the date are inside the wreath of Corn and Cotton with the inscription STANDARD across the top.

Overall, the mirrors are strong and actually are defect free. Miss Liberty and the details do exhibit light roughness. They are also fully struck and have thick frost. The eye appeal is nice
