Coin Description:

This coin should be captioned, DIE WEAR EVERYWHERE. An untoned premium gem with MS67 surfaces with respect to marks, strike, and luster. A single mark on the steps precludes the full step designation.

Comments:

I have never seen another coin from any series so plagued by die wear as the present example. I estimate that over 90% of the surfaces exhibit evidence of die fatigue. To be honest, it is distracting when viewed close up in a photo or under a glass, but when viewed from a distance, the effect on the luster of the coin is quite attractive and very unique. The more I look at this coin, the more I like it.
