Owner Comments:

Overall darker brown on the obverse with hints of blue, purple and reds that twist in the light. Interesting die erosion around the throat makes an interesting aspect to the mint luster on this coin. As a collecting footnote, this was a tough coin to find in MS 65 and I passed on one or two over the years until this one surfaced, which spoke to me a little more. With a tearfully low number available to the collecting community, I am proud to own this example.
