This is a quite dramatic coin that can be added to your collection without breaking the bank. Out of its original massive mintage of 12,196,967, the second highest in the series, only 516 have been graded by PCGS. And of those there are only 3 carrying the gem-plus grade of MS65+, with 35 finer (as of 5/2021). Plus the desirable green CAC sticker gives this specimen added value and cachet. For the collector looking for a high-quality Registry Set coin at a relative bargain, this is a good choice! Look at the images. Both sides are enveloped in a warm golden reddish-brown toning, with splashes of aqua and russet near the rims. A beauty! Imagine how great this piece will look in your collection!

The coinage of Charles E. Barber has seen much criticism over the years; however, many sophisticated collectors enjoy the oft maligned designs. Barber has a champion in numismatic scholar and art critic Cornelius Vermeule, who writes that, "...Liberty's cap, incised diadem, and wreath of laurel were designed to echo all the depth and volume of her Olympian countenance. The classical substances are offset, almost literally, by the sharply rectangular dentils of the raised rim and the strength of 13 six-pointed stars. On the [reverse] ... an equal constellation of stars ... is clustered above the eagle's shaggy, craggy profile. On both sides the simple dignity of motto, legend, and denomination binds the pictorialism into a cohesive tondo. The wealth of irregular surfaces and sharp angles is an almost electrifying aesthetic experience. ... specimens [are] a pleasure to contemplate. The sculptor was unsurpassed in the mechanics of creating a durable design of monumental validity."
