Comments: A beautiful beginner toner is best way to describe this coin. The obverse has just a hint of that beautiful rainbow toning on the right side of the surface, while the reverse still has a brilliant white surface. Eye appeal for this example is fantastic. No major issues with the fields, with minor chatter on the extreme high points. Pretty strong strike with only flaws on the very high points. Not extremely common, easy enough to obtain if necessary (estimated over 27,000 survival in MS 65 or higher grades), but hard to get this kind of crescent-like obverse toning. Overall a pretty nice example of a high grade for this coin.
