Owner's Description

Mintage: 97 Million
Full Step Availability: 10%
Population: 225/15
Date/mm Information: Commonly found with good luster and eye appeal

Coin Description: While some significant marks and planchet roughness exist on both sides of the coin, the visual impact of the solid strike, fulsome luster, and incredible toning accounts for the premium gem status. Light apricot at the center of the obverse expands to lilac and powder blue before exploding into a striking iridescent crescent of yellow, magenta, and lime green. The reverse boasts an intermingled plethora of rainbow colors including: burnt orange, cherry red, lime green, periwinkle, and yellow.

Comments: This is a quintessential example of a market graded coin. MS65 surfaces by all accounts compete against premium gem strike, luster, and eye appeal yielding a top pop by PCGS standards with a PCGS population of 96/0
