Very hard to find these with anything resembling eye appeal short of a 64 price tag, so I jumped on this when it came up. Others have better strike, but this is far from horrible. Somewhat worn dies, but again not the worst. Probably would have brought a small premium on those accounts alone, but I think the color is the selling point and speaks for itself. What I am just now noticing is the prominent doubling along the portrait of the Indian's face. Doubling of the ribbon is also present, as it is for all three mints from 1925, but I don't think I've ever seen such prominent doubling on the portrait. Check out the nose in particular, as well as the forehead, upper lip and chin.
Color is off the charts vivid, which I wasn't expecting from the HA image. This one will be destined for STAR designation
