CAC. A key-date from the inaugural year of the design. This example displays strong detail in Washington’s hair and the reverse eagle’s feathers, with pleasing original silver-gray luster across both sides. Light contact marks are present but well within the grade, and overall eye appeal remains strong.

Well detailed with choice original surfaces that retain a touch of underlying luster.
