Owner's Description

The Eliasberg coin. Another very difficult date in mint state, rated R-6 by Fortin. It appears to be a F-101 from the shape of the mint mark, but it has none of the other die characteristics he attributes to this variety (no dot in the gown above the pendant on the obverse, no die scratch near the O in ONE on the reverse). This is the sole MS-65 graded at NGC with one MS-66 finer. PCGS has not been able to find anything higher than MS-64. The strike is decent but somewhat blunt. The toning is dark and even. No distractions ar die cracks to mention. Just a nice solid gem of a difficult date. Bought from Jason Carter, March, 2003.
