Owner Comments:

The obverse features a bust of Liberty facing right with a wreath of oak and vine leaves adorning her head. The word LIBERTY is inscribed on a ribbon that overlies Liberty's shoulder. The legend UNITED STATES OF AMERICA is around the periphery, the date 1859 is below. The reverse displays a spread eagle design with the ribbon in its beak "perfect," that is, not incomplete like found on examples of some varieties (Pollock-303 and 304, for example). Struck in silver with a reeded edge. Considerable brilliance is noted beneath light gray-blue toning.
