CoinFacts Details

Owner's Comments

EEPS. PDS: (14: 5,4,5). 20% RD. The S-15 variety, although not part of the FS designations, is a definitive rarity in IHC expert Rick Snow’s guidebook. Beyond cool with the die lump near the top of the obverse. Array of colors is awesome complete with flow lines on the obv, with the rev exhibiting prooflike qualities. Eye appeal is outstanding. At 64RB, the coin is seriously undergraded; it’s difficult to find any marks even under 10x. It appears the graders are mistaking the die lump not for what it really is but instead making a grade deduction.
