Lot Description

Rich orange-gold color throughout with surfaces that show a few shallow wipe lines but no distracting nicks or cuts. The strike is sharp throughout, on Liberty and her headdress as well as the wreath. Mintage of 1,000 pieces precludes many surviving at all, especially in Mint State. A rare date and this example is quite suitable for the advanced collector.
