A lovely example with fully lustrous satin surfaces and outstanding gray and iridescent toning. Both obverse and reverse have pale rose, light blue-green, and violet. Sharply struck with nice centering. The borders are full and complete on both obverse and reverse.

The obverse has a light die crack from border through center of 9 to the lowest curl. This is not mentioned in the Overton text and clearly establishes the correct emission order.

Previously certified AU-58 by PCGS.

From Superior's sale of the Pugh Collection, May 1992, Lot 1387. Earlier from a Long Beach, California coin show in 1985.
