Choice $750 Type 2, Near-Gem Original, Island City Collection.. An old saying holds that Liberty's breast was covered on the Type II design in response to public outrage, but there is no contemporary evidence to support this. Roger Burdette's research suggests the actual rationale was to depict a more militaristic figure of Liberty. This example reveals bits of lemon-gold color in the fields, with russet patina gathering at the rims. Liberty's head is soft, while the shield rivets are all defined.
