CoinFacts Details

Owner's Comments

With Motto. Only 7 finer at PCGS. While examples of this Philadelphia five are generally available up to the MS63 level, Choice coins are notably scarce and full Gems are rare. This near-Gem coin displays natural medium-gold coloration and frosty luster befitting its elusive high grade. Population: 42 in 64.

Expert Comments
