Owner Comments:

First obverse mint mark on a US coin. This is one of my favorites. The coin pictured is actually housed in an old ANACS AU-55 holder. I owned both coins but this one is much more attractive. I would send it in to NGC but I am concerned by their policy of not grading it without cracking it out. If it goes to a tough grader and comes back with details grade I lose. Maybe I'll send it to PCGS.
