. Lovely rainbow toning
on both sides around the edges with deeper hues around
the rims and brightening to gorgous tawny gold inside the
stars, and blazing white brilliance to the centers. Amazing
quality surfaces and rich, vibrant eye appeal throughout.
Reflective fields as often seen as the dies were still highly
polished from the normal die production process, but so
few coins were struck the original die polish never wore
away. Only 4,400 minted of which merely 800 examples are
estimated to have survived, and this one is clealry one of
the finer examples known today.

. Nice golden toning on both
sides which favors the rims and graces the fields with a
classic antique silver appearance. Only 5,200 minted of
which merely 1,000 examples are estimated to have sur-
vived, and this is one of the very finest and worthy of the
most advanced collection. The surfaces are absolutely gor-
geous and this level of quality never loses its appeal.

Fully white with gleaming satin luster and heaped with frost
on the devices. Semi reflective fields as usually seen as the
orignal die polish never had a chance to wear down as so
few of these were struck. A gorgeous gem that any collec-
tor will long enjoy the benefits of ownership each time this
coin is admired.
