The highlights include a touch of residual luster in and around devices mingled with smooth finish and light to medium gray toning. Adequately struck as well, not fully so, but near enough to merit mention here. Pop 1; 2 finer for the variety, 1 in 50, 1 in 58 (PCGS # 40029) . Estimated Value $5,000 - 5,500.
