Owner Comments:

Mintage: 67.2 Million
Full Step Availability: 0.5%
Date/mm Information: Most are quite pleasing to view, sharpness is a challenge.

Coin Description: A wonderfully toned coin with extremely attractive shades of slate blue, light apricot, dove grey, and sea foam green. The surfaces are very clean, and the strike is excellent for the date/mm.

Comments: This coin represents my second attempt to upgrade this slot from MS66* to MS67. The first attempt yielded an insanely lustrous monochromatic gold toned coin that had a significant scratch across the face that NGC either ignored or missed. I quickly sold that coin and ended up finding this. I oscillate between this coin and the MS66* which I still own, but currently favor this coin which has clearly better surfaces and strike, and a patina that whose originality will never be questioned.
