Lot Description

Smooth softly frosted surfaces are attractively toned in blended hues of iridescence golden-live and rose-russet. Frequently seen in the MS-63 to 65 range, but extremely rare at the MS-67+ level. Issued to commemorate the 75th anniversary of the famous Civil War battle. The "Blue and Gray Reunion" noted on the obverse occurred a couple of years later on July 1-3, 1938. The sculptor Frank Vittor of Pittsburgh created the designs.
