Losbeschreibung

A brilliant and frosty gem with full cartwheel effect. Essentially white, a small toning spot next to the eagle’s left wing serves as an identifier. Although both Wayne Miller and Highfill have commented on the fact that most mint state examples are plagued by bag marks, this example is a notable exception; only scant marks are noticeable with the naked eye and few are visible even under magnification. A splendid coin, among the finest known, and rare thus.
