Owner Comments:
Mintage of 312,000. - Had this in a ANACS- MS62 BN coat for a long time and just recently crossed it over into the new coat from NGC at the same grade level. Chestnut brown spead evenly over the entire coin. Somewhat dull with no luster. There is a hint of blue mixed in with the brown on the obverse. I've seen my fair share of these coins in XF and even a few in AU but when you get into the mint state ones they are few and hard to find. Stack's auction in 1995 for $150. A steal at the time and more so when it came back as a mint state coin.
