Both sides display deep copper-red and light-brown coloration blended with warm mint luster and pleasing eye appeal. Sharply struck throughout with crisp feather detail and smooth, problem-free surfaces for the grade.

CAC. A scarce New Orleans issue in attractive About Uncirculated condition, further endorsed by a green CAC sticker. This example retains strong remaining luster with light, even wear confined to the high points.

One of the ‘keys’ to the series. 450,000 minted but just a fraction of those were actually put into circulation. This example is well struck and very nearly mint state. The surfaces are lustrous and mostly silver-white with a trace of gold toning at the rim.
