Owner's Description

F-102, from the position of the date relative to the lines in the shield (too far right to be a F-101, nor does it have the re cutting of the 1 and the other digits in the date which define the F-103), and the 6 relative to the pendant. But no evidence of die clashing on the obverse nor doubling on the reverse as called for by Fortin. Gerry states that no prooofs have been known to have been struck from these dies, but this coin has to make you wonder. Fabulously struck and beautifully toned, the coin exhibits just enough cartwheel flash that the mint state designation is probably, but not undoubtedly, correct. R-5 in uncirculated mint state, and long recognized as one of the semi-keys to the series. This coin tops the charts as the sole MS-68, trailed by five MS-67s, three at NGC and two at PCGS. Bought from a Superior auction, January, 2003, lot 446. Proof or unc this is one magnificent coin.
