Gem $1100 New March 5! Ideal Coronet Design Type, First Rate Eye Appeal, Coppery-Gray, Pristine Surfaces.

Tim did very well with this purchase as the coloration is rich copper-gray with bold devices. The surfaces are entirely unabraded with light rub on the high points. If you like the images, then the coin in had will be that much better. Let's go with a JUST BUY IT NOW to make the point. Price consistent with the CAC price guide with 55 approved in all grades.
