Dazzling luster with vivid gold toning and a hint of ice blue surrounding the obverse rim adding to the already gorgeous eye appeal. Coin is boldly struck including all the shield lines and full star radials. The only exception is the final digit of the date, which is mushy. This is the first year of issue, and is very scarce in higher grades. A premium quality example of this rare issue!
