Description

  • silver
A remarkable example, which is nearly as well struck as can be expected for this usually weak issue. The mirrored fields are astonishingly deep and reflective, although, as noted by Miller, there is little if any cameo contrast. The bagmarks are few, scattered, and non-distracting. The obverse shows signs of die clashing around the nose and lips of Liberty; and it is struck from the so-called “pitted reverse” with polish lines in the bow of the wreath. There is a lovely golden peripheral toning which fades towards the centers. The PCGS auction data indicate only eight PCGS MS 66 DMPL examples appearing over the last decade; the most recent in 2015.
