This rare date was the final business strike in the series and had the lowest mintage at 1,000 coins. This is a superbly preserved example with proof-like brilliant surfaces that display vibrant original luster, accented by attractive iridescent toning that highlights the bold star and shield motif on the obverse. The reverse Roman numeral III within its ornamental wreath is sharply defined, with crisp strike detail throughout. Graded MS66 by PCGS, this coin represents an exceptionally high-grade survivor with just 2 pieces grading finer at PCGS.
