Owner's Description

F-101. Obverse 1 coupled with reverse A. The obverse determined from the position of the date, while the reverse is easily identified by the die crack at the bottom connecting the two ribbon ends. Sometimes I can't figure out how PCGS determines whether a strike is proof or unc. These are known proof dies, and the first impression the coin gives is that it is sharply struck enough with squared letters to be a proof. However Fortin does state that mint state examples of F-101 are known. Whatever the coin is a beauty to behold. Bought from Stack's auction of the Northern Bay Collection, March, 2006, lot 4305 (where its mint state condition stood out in notable contrast to a gem proof in lot 4304.)
