Owner's Comments

CAC 2400. “Draped Bust, Large Eagle. This really is one mighty fine looking coin for the grade and Type! Crusty, original coin grey with hints of subtle pinks and blues around the peripheries. Considerable amounts of original mint luster peak through and the coin overall offers exceptional eye appeal with impressive technical merits. All this makes you wonder why this is only an XF40?...unbelievably free from the amount of rub often seen on a 40, or even AU coins. CAC Verified.”
