An exceptional example of this low mintage VERY RARE date boasting a strong strike on both sides with satiny obverse surfaces while the reverse displays a combination of satiny central area and brilliant outer legends. Light mottled orange tone complements this high grade example offering good eye appeal sure to catch the attention of specialists.
