CoinFacts Details

Owner's Comments

Here is a frosty lustrous survivor of this challenging issue. The untoned surfaces present as fully brilliant, while the devices are well articulated. A few abrasions here and there on the portrait limit the grade. This coin appeared in the collections of both Dale Krueger and Dale Friend, and was previously owned by Sunnywood as well. We were happy to welcome it back into our collection in 2007.
