Owner's Comments

The great strike is apparent from the image. The attractive bluish/rose toing, less so. Not sure it has the blast to go 64, but one heck of a nice coin for the grade. Never given any thought to trying to upgrade this one. Remember the buy well, one of first pieces I saw at Annandale show that day, and was an easy decision to spend the entire budget after minutes at the show.

Expert Comments

David Hall

The 1924-D is scarce in circulated grades and very scarce in mint state. Like the other pre-1930 Denver Mint issues, the 1924-D is rare in Gem condition, though not as rare as the S Mints of the era. This issue is usually, but not always, well struck. There are some examples with weak Buffalo horn detail. Luster is of the frosty iridescent type.
