The surfaces are satin smooth and reveal little circulation evidence and no mishandling. This star arrangement is unique on this single obverse die for the silver dollar series. PCGS# 6881. Provenance: From the Freedom Collection. PCGS Population: 4; 5 finer (Mint State-64 finest) within the 8x5 designation.
