- with the richly lustrous beauty of an even higher grade. This delightful Type II coin's obverse shows a meticulously detailed Liberty head standing out boldly from exceptionally smooth fields. Both sides display die clash, the reverse strike shows typically indistinct 'LL' in DOLLAR and '8' in the date as seen even on the sharpest strikes of this short-lived design. PCGS MS63. |

- or finer. Superbly struck with a full LIBERTY and bold feather details. Surfaces are fully lustrous and amazingly colorful, with the centers toned in platinum blue and the peripheries bathed in light to orange-gold hues. Close examination under magnification reveals some very subtle hairlines, which fortunately do not detract from this coin's bold visual appeal. |

About Uncirculated and nearly Choice. Winter states that there are about 100 examples still surviving from a paltry mintage of only 1,566 pieces. As is typical the first letters of UNITED are weak. Otherwise, this coin appears to be well struck up and Liberty is full. NGC AU50. |
