Owner's Description

F-107, small s, from the position of the mint mark. Seems like the date should be common with just under one million coins struck, but it does rate an R-5 in mint state. The sole MS-66 graded at PCGS with only two MS-65's beneath it. There are two MS-66's graded at NGC. One can be identified as the Lovejoy coin, another beauty, offered by Stack's in October, 1990. Amazingly the date was only offered at the Eliasberg sale in a collective lot (1241) of lesser quality pieces. This coin if not the finest known certainly has a claim as the most beautiful. Bought from Paul Battaglia at Rare Coins of New Hampshire, August, 2006.
