Lot Description

A flashy example, lustrous and untoned save for a ring of pastel copper at the margins.  The strike is first rate.  I suspect that the coin was semi-prooflike when it left the coining chamber.  Should I remind you that mintage is just over 750,000 for this key date, 3rd lowest of the series?  Est. $1,000 to $1,300.
