Owner Comments:

Richly toned in ice-blue and reddish-umber shades, this O-109 example is razor-sharp on the stars and the central motifs, lacking detail only at the eagle's talons, branch stem, and arrow fletchings. Bright mint luster shines through the dramatic patina. Both the O in OF and the C in AMERICA are broadly recut. Star 13 sits far from the curl, its outer point aligned with the edge of the nearest dentil. Housed in the green label PCGS holder from time of purchase, this is a likely Condition Census coin of stunning eye appeal.
