Only 5,900 pieces were issued from the Philadelphia Mint this year, yet a surprisingly high PCGS/NGC population of 12 remains at this level with seven graded finer between the two services. This number is most likely inflated by crackouts. In any case, this is a rarity at this level and would make an exciting highlight for any collection. Wheat gold surfaces are graced with tangerine and light olive tones on both sides. Brilliant luster illuminates the sharply impressed devices. While mostly well-struck, typical weakness for the issue is present on the reverse. A true premium gem with outstanding eye appeal! - Gold Dollar
