Rare, low mintage Liberty eagle from a mintage of just 16,700 coins struck and a neat variety! The 865/Inverted 186 was created when the engraver inadvertently punched the logotype with the first three digits in the date into die upside down. The error was recognized and corrected with a second entry of the digits in the proper orientation, but ample evidence of the initial blunder remains. The underdigits are readily appreciable with the aid of a loupe on this charming AU example. Warm honey-gold color coats both sides with pinkish highlights and plenty of underlying luster. The striking detail is sufficiently bold and the eye appeal most pleasing! - Liberty Head $10
