Owner's Description

I traded 1.85 oz in AGE's in August 2004 for this coin when gold was but $350 per ounce. I thought that it had a great chance at Ultra Cameo so I had it conserved by NCS in December 2005 and it has resided in my Dansco 7070 every since. Unfortunately, there is a toning dot above the date that had eaten through the surface of the coin. As you can see, it has taken on some nice toning with hints of violet around the rims.<br /><br />Not a bad type coin but it certainly wasn't one of my shrewdest deals that I've ever made. <br /><br />****************************************<br />1909 LIBERTY HEAD FIVE CENTS<br />****************************************<br /><br />Mintage:<br />Circulation strikes: 11,585,763<br />Proofs: 4,763<br /><br />Designer: Charles E.
