Issued during the nation’s Centennial year, this Gem example offers excellent surfaces, frosty luster, and sharp definition for the type. Liberty’s portrait is crisply rendered with full hair details, strong lettering, and no distracting marks. The reverse displays a bold Roman numeral III, surrounded by a complete wreath, with satiny mint luster permeating the fields. The coin retains a pleasing silver-gray to pale nickel-white tone, typical of original, undipped surfaces. A better date with a modest 162,000 minted and just 17 coins grading numerically finer at PCGS.
