This is the last coin I needed to complete the dates in this type set, but it will not be my last. This year was the year when less than a million were minted with all 3 mints. And getting one that isn't dark or severely tarnished in this XF rating at a reasonable price is even more difficult.
Only 450,000 minted in New Orleans, making this rare and pricey. San Francisco only minted 400,000 with Philadelphia only minting 880 proof coins.
During this year......
