| Description: |
Bright and lustrous with pale gold on both sides. As noted in Bowers' Encyclopedia,
"although the 1870 dollar is relatively plentiful in circulated grades, true Mint
State coins are elusive. Few were saved at the time of release by those who owned them,
which probably began domestically after 1873 when silver dollars were no longer worth more
in bullion value than in face value." A pleasing example despite a touch of striking
weakness at Miss Liberty's head and at the eagle's dexter claw. Variety with IN GOD WE
TRUST showing some repunching.PCGS Population: 10; 4 finer (MS-66 finest).
