| Description: |
Medium honey gold with warm rose and faint orange highlights. A generous amount of mint
brilliance and frost is retained in the recessed and protected areas. Despite a few faint
marks, the overall eye appeal is substantial. Remnants of the underlying numeral plainly
seen within the lower loop of the 3, and in this early state a raised thin sliver is noted
in the field beneath the lowest curve of the 3. Fewer than 10 examples of this popular
overdate have been certified finer than the present coin by NGC, making AU-55, as here, a
thoroughly acceptable grade for those who seek quality.NGC Census: 29; 9 finer (MS-62
finest).
