Owner Comments:

This is a rare Philadelphia date, 18th of 44 on the list of the full Type 1 Double Set set, and similar to the 1864 Philedelphia.

In MS62, this coin is clearly within the condition census.

The coin is conservatively graded due to its originality and frosty mint luster. It is the epitome of Philadelphia originality.

The strike is strong and there are only two smaller marks on the coins, one on each side, barely visible to the naked eye.

This is an undervalued and underappreciated date, overshadowed by the common "S" shipwreck coins and the "O" Great Rarity.
