Description du lot

A very pleasing AU example. Attractive medium yellow gold with a small area of darker tone at the lower left reverse. Surfaces are relatively smooth with considerable semi-reflective luster for the grade. Only 4,850 were struck for circulation, a modest mintage for this intriguing and popular denomination. PCGS 31, NGC 36. Do not let the population figures fool you, this grade is very difficult to acquire, the last NGC-AU53 sold in auction back in June 2015 for $1,410. The current Collectors Universe value is listed at $2,100. A neat date for the collector. Cert. Number 456610-003 PCGS # 7989
