1942 Gem Brilliant Proof. Another matching the prior coin with milky white toning over the surfaces with a touch of gold, and a minute edge collar break above the 'B' of LIBERTY. Slight doubling on 'ST' of TRUST, caused during the die hubbing process. Final year of Proofs for this series, as World War II disrupted their issue, and the series ended in 1947 before Proof coinage resumed.
