Owner's Description

I purchased this perfect coin as an already graded MS70. The later date coins have exponentially greater numbers of MS70 examples. This makes the MS69 and MS68 coins relatively cheaper to acquire. The high number of gem examples in MS68-70 condition make these coins less valuable than rarer earlier date ones. I decided to keep this coin in the original old-style holder because it is a testament to the fact that the coin is likely an early strike because in approximately February 2008 the edgeview holders began to appear.
