Gold specialist David Akers writes, “Most examples of this date are very frosty and lustrous with a sharp strike. Color varies, with some specimens having a pale rose gold color and others having a rich greenish gold color. The "eye appeal" of … specimens of this issue is among the best, if not the absolute best, in the series.”
