Owner Comments:
This coin caught my eye on Ebay. The photos in the listing weren't great but I found myself going back to them again and again. Common date; uncommon example.
What a great look! Dark charcoal-gray fields, with lighter devices. My photos can't do this coin justice, and show it to be more light and brown than it is in hand. The Reverse, to me, is solid for the grade. The Obverse has a nice cameo look. I also note the die crack on the Reverse. Going counterclockwise, it runs along the rim, just above the dentils, from the tip of the U (United) all the way through the denomination and around to the I (America). Very cool. You can see a lot, but not quite all, of the crack in my photo.
Purchased this coin in its holder, and then submitted it to CAC. It passed: currently the only VG10 example with the Green Bean.
