Frosty motifs and mirror fields display a hint of faint champagne. A lovely gem with impressive contrast.In original Government holder and box with serial-numbered insert. The offering of coins in GSA holders as here is a bit unusual. At one time these were plentiful in the marketplace, but with the advent of certification by PCGS (1986) and NGC (1987), many if not most in numismatic hands were broken out and put into holders of those certification services. In more recent times the ever more innovative NGC captured the best of both worlds—allowing the holder to be preserved but also a third party grading number being applied. Otherwise the GSA holders were not graded. Demand has grown tremendously for coins in these original GSA holders, as collectors feel assured that the coins are as pristine and original as they were when they left the Mint.
