Owner Comments:
A wonderfully colored and preserved Fort Vancouver commemorative that features crisp detail and immaculate fields with a vibrant golden and yellow undercoat highlighted with hints of iridescent lavender and dominant splashes of green and blue. The reverse has a similar array of color, but with a remarkable placement. The pioneer appears to be standing on golden ground, while the mountain and sky above have a blue and purple patina. A spectacular pristine example with only two coins grading finer by both of the top services. Off the charts color.
