详细说明

A gorgeous example with rich steel-blue and deep rose patina that yields to brilliance in the center of the reverse. Frosty surfaces are expectably smooth for the assigned grade with a bold to sharp strike throughout. The metallic composition and design of the Type III trime are identical to those on its Type II predecessor except for the removal of one of the extra outlines to the obverse star. Walter Breen (1988) speculates that this minor design change was made to extend working die life and otherwise ease the Mint's burden in producing these coins. The present Superb Gem would serve well in a high quality set.
