Glorious luster and delightful sharpness are the most obvious reasons for selecting this as a type representative, since the smooth, satin surface texture swirls with gleaming effect as it is tilted back and forth under proper lighting. Liberty's hair strands are deeply struck, with individual filaments noticeably separated within her tresses, although the strike did not bring up all the stars equally. A few lack minor interior definition. The obverse left field displays a number of tiny micro-abrasions that yield a distinct "patchy" appearance, and several fragile hairlines traverse the obverse from left to right, while the reverse shows only a few of the most delicate hairlines imaginable. In aggregate, these slight deficiencies may have denied "choice" consideration, but any collector would be proud to add the rather nice aesthetic appeal to his holdings. (PCGS# 008564)
