The Gem surfaces are intensely lustrous with a smooth satin to softly frosted texture. Mottled toning in steel-olive, golden-russet and antique silver-gray provides abundant eye appeal. This is a plentiful die pairing in an absolute sense, although MS-65s are tied for CC#2 based on the Herrman listing (Autumn 2021). Provenance: From the Abigail Collection, Part II.
