An attractive and scarce Mint State survivor from this transitional issue. Bright and even yellow-gold color spans the satiny surfaces and high-lights the well-struck design elements. Untouched and eye appealing!
When our nation was still in it's infancy, the United States Mint produced some of it's most outstanding work. This is a fine example of design and craftsmanship from that period. But history and aestetics aside, just look at the coin itself! The obverse showcases some delightful orange/russet toning around the periphery, and the reverse displays some light prooflike attributes. If you've been waiting for "the right coin," this very well might be the one.
