1895 Gem Brilliant Uncirculated. Traces of recutting are seen inside the lower loop of the '8'. Flashing silver of virtually prooflike intensity is highlighted on both sides by overlying coppery-gold with a flavoring of pale blue. The strike is delightfully sharp and fully detailed. Here is one of the finest examples of this scarce date likely to be found by the diligent searcher today.
