A remarkable Gem survivor from the heart of the Civil War. This piece boasts brilliant, frosty luster across both sides, with razor-sharp detail in Liberty’s figure, shield, and surrounding stars. 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 of contact, well within Gem standards. The fields are bright and reflective, adding strong eye appeal that elevates this coin above most seen at the grade level.
