Owner's Comments

CACG Certification 7490.65/282049337 | Silver Witter Brick | Strike: Well-executed and nicely detailed for the issue—Liberty's hairlines and cap exhibit good separation with crisp definition, stars are sharp, and the eagle's breast feathers show better-than-average separation without the softness sometimes seen on this common P-mint date. A balanced, pleasing impression overall | Surface: Exceptionally clean for MS65; fields are smooth with only the lightest, scattered ticks and micro-abrasions that vanish under normal viewing angles—no heavy bag marks, hairlines, or distractions mar the premium eye appeal | Luster: Radiant satiny-to-frosty cartwheel glow; the strong, rolling luster bounces brilliantly across both sides with that classic mint frost skin, giving the coin a fresh, original look | Toning: Delicate, even golden-silver patina blankets the surfaces with soft peripheral accents of warm honey and faint champagne hues, adding subtle originality and warmth without overpowering the brilliant underlying luster. A restrained, natural tone that enhances rather than dominates.
