Description

  • gold
An exceptionally fine example of rich orange hue, with a satiny sheen, and fields largely bereft of marks and abrasions. With a pair of obverse die cracks, one near the Capitol in the folds of Liberty’s gown, and an interesting peripheral die crack which nearly encircles the entire coin in stops and starts.
