 1919 Gem Brilliant Uncirculated. A sharply struck, lustrous coin that has strong visual appeal. The surfaces are especially clean and free of bagmarks, an unusual event for this elusive date. Bright and untoned, with radiant lustre throughout. For identification there is a horizontal nick on Liberty's jaw and cheek. As to the strike, it is quite sharp but not quite full on Liberty's head, hand and skirt lines. The reverse strike is outstanding, and the surfaces are free of all but the most minute signs of contact. A beautiful coin to represent the date, and one which would be hard to improve upon.
