A RARE date, only 1,000 examples were struck of this final year the denomination was struck for circulation. Both sides are deeply toned over semi-reflective, nearly fully Prooflike surfaces. The devices are sharply struck and stand out nicely against the glassy GEM quality surfaces. Deep teal-blue toning shows off glints of gold on the reverse. The eye appeal is excellent. Only 1,000 were struck for circulation. PCGS 2, NGC 6. The most recent NGC MS65 to sell was the Stone Collection coin sold in May 2018 for $8,750. The current Collectors Universe value is listed at $12,000. Just a half dozen examples have graded higher at NGC, and this GEM will see spirited bidding, bound for an advanced set. Good luck. Cert.
