Overton-105. Sharp detail with nice original surfaces that retain a trace of mint luster.

Solid detail with original coin-gray surfaces.

A solid coin for the grade displaying honest XF detail throughout. Liberty retains strong facial definition and hair curls while the reverse shows a strong wreath with bold lettering.

Liberty’s portrait remains distinct, with wreath elements and legends bold. The surfaces are chocolate-brown with smooth fields and a pleasing, undisturbed patina. A solid mid-grade example of this scarce […]
