Description du lot

A splendid coin with hard, white surfaces and coruscating lustre. The hair not fully pronounced over Liberty’s ear, which is the norm for this variety, but otherwise well struck. A small toning spot behind Liberty’s cap serves as an identifier. The surfaces with a small number of non-distracting bagmarks consistent with the grade; a couple of mint-caused inclusions (part of the production process) are also noted. An exceptional example in every regard.
