Item number: 150416712210

Item location: Philadelphia, PA, United States

With the exception of the reverse steps which I rate 3-2-0-0 using the quarter step method, the strike of the coin is surprisingly good for the date/mm. All of the windows/doors on Monticello are present and the obverse is very well struck eliminating any planchet irregularities that typically plague the series. The coin is very lustrous which is common for the issue and some minor marks are present on both sides. All in all a well struck solid example of an MS67 which has a population of 16/0.
