Judd-933, Pollock-1039
Rarity: Low R.7, PR66
Struck in Silver with Reeded Edge.
Obverse: A seated figure of Liberty faces left on the obverse with 13 stars surrounding. The date is below, a free-standing Liberty pole is behind, and LIBERTY is inscribed on a scroll crossing a small shield.

Comments:
The surfaces are spectacular with rich lilac, lavender and blue toning right to the frosty centers. The strike is bold and without a hint of weakness. As to the surfaces, the grade speaks volumes as to the quality as the devices and fields are virtually pristine.
