it was described (in part) as follows: "One of the finest seen of the
date, NGC has only graded 17 this high, with 2 graded higher. Blazing mint
luster in the fields, and the devices are boldly struck. A hint of toning
on the high points of Liberty's upper curls, and along the eagle's wing
tips. Hints of speckled copper toning can be seen with a glass, and very
few ticks are noted--anywhere."
