Striking detail is sharp to full throughout, as befits the assigned grade.

Fewer than 200 are believed extant in all grades, this semi-prooflike example certainly among the finest circulated survivors available to todays discerning gold collectors.From the Maurice Snow Collection. Acquired from Manfra, Tordella & Brookes, date not recorded.
