A scarce double sided toned GEM example of this former key date issue. Both sides are awash in a classic blue and rose blend that is brought to live by a vivid luster. Sharply struck for a New Orleans dollar. The surfaces are virtually without flaw on both sides, this exceptional looking coin is not so common with this kind of visual effect. PCGS 911, NGC 365, CAC 211. There are 108 graded in MS66+. The most recent examples sold in auction realized in the $1,500 range and the current PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $1,650. While common in lower Mint State grades, the 03-O is still RARE any finer, especially with color. Bid accordingly. Cert. Number 84906794 PCGS # 7286
