R-5. Similar to the regular issue dies, except the motto GOD OUR TRUST is set directly into the field without a scroll above the eagle. Struck in copper with a reeded edge. This is a lovely example with a gorgeous turquoise tint when tilted under a light.

The reverse eagle is equally bold, showing crisp feather detail and a strong strike. Surfaces are outstanding for the issue, with only the faintest traces […]
