Lot Description

The First Through Last Collection. The low contrast strike appears to provide no cameo effect at all, but then again, that was not necessarily the mint's intent as it continued to overcome the challenges of striking coins in tough nickel alloy. The strike still brought up relatively sharp details and the surface appears nicely original, overlaid by nickel-silver patina and hints of greyish bloom.
