Owner's Description

F-103, matches the description in Fortin's book perfectly. The 5 in the date is closed; the numerals 1 8 5 are imbedded in the rock; and on the reverse there is heavy die flash all around the bow knot. In a way the weak sister in this set (the 1609 registry points awarded to this coin by NGC are the lowest of any), but an attractive one. At MS-64 this coin would not qualify for the condition census, but it really does not need to take a back seat as the strike is good and the eye appeal is excellent. For years I thought I would be able to find an upgrade, but so far a more attractive one has not surfaced. Bought directly from David Lawrence in February, 2007.
