Less than 100 are believed to remain today with a combined certified population at PCGS/NGC of just 8 graded AU53 and 52 graded higher. Many specimens seen from this year have been repaired or altered as well, further elevating the status of original examples such as this one.

The coin offered is solid for the grade with pleasant, even tones and delightful eye appeal. The strike is above average despite the weak U in United which is normal for this date.

Therefore, this better date rare piece certainly offers the serious collector/investor a terrific opportunity for future appreciation.
