Owner's Description

F-103, with the extra 9 in the drapery just to the right of the end of the scroll. Fortin states that this variety also contains elements of a second extra digit within the vertical lines of the shield, but there is no evidence of that on this coin. There are numerous die chips around stars 3-6. The reverse is perfect. Greer does note this date frequently comes flatly struck. But not so on this coin: full radials in the stars, full head, and full dentls on both obverse and reverse. Not to mention full luster and gorgeous deep blue-gray toning. Not a rare date. There are twenty-nine MS-67s and two MS-68s between the services. But in a straight beauty contest this would be a tough coin to beat. Bought from Evan Gale at Aspen Park, April, 2005.
