Owner's Description

I just do not know enough superlatives to do justice to the description of this coin. Perhaps the Superior catalogue from which it was purchased (September, 2003, lot 1490) summed it up best with just a few words, "a legendary rarity." Only four mint state coins have been graded, and this coin from the Ebsen collection at MS-63 is the finest. There are three other MS-62s ranked right behind it. Rated R-7+ by Fortin and Greer in mint state, Fortin terms it the key date to the series. All this bundled together along with remarkable toning, a reflective prooflike surface, an excellent strike, and a strong provenance. Enough said. I feel I could continue to rapsodize forever, and still not fully express my feelings about this coin.
