 1871 Choice About Uncirculated, virtually Mint State. This coin's rich, orange and rose gold mint lustre makes it tempting to assign to this coin a full Mint State grade. However, a close look reveals some gentle, even friction at the high points and in the fields. At 1,300 pieces, the 1871 boasts one of the lowest business strike mintages in the whole series. Here is a simply splendid specimen of this low production issue.
