Owner Comments:

This coin has the same 10.89 gram weight as previous years but it has a smaller diameter and is thicker. These changes were made possible due to the replacement of the screw press with the steam powered press. The coins from February 1836 up to date are also more uniform than their predecessors because of advances in the minting process.
