Owner Comments:

I purchased this coin uncertified at a local coin show in January 1992 from a dealer who has since passed away. The dealer graded it Ch. AU, and so do I, as it shows traces of high point wear, especially on the leaves on the reverse. I submitted it to NGC in April 2022, and it received a MS 62 grade, which is par for the course for today's commercial grading standards. In any case, it is a nice representative of its type. I photographed the coin prior to certification.
