The beginning of the Great Depression brought an end to this short-lived coin series. 1929 was the last year of mintage and this issue can be found in ample quantities. Most are well struck with great luster. Writes Jeff Garrett, “For some reason, this date is found with more than average bag marks. At the Gem level, it is actually somewhat rarer than the other dates from 1925 to 1928.”
