Owner's Comments

This has to be the Gem Of 1898 5C! The quality is BEYOND HIGH END! The surfaces are just about perfect. We used a strong glass and looked all over. The texture is semi satiny. A very good luster beams from all over. Both sides are a totally original light deep champagne/pale nickel color. Miss Liberty and the details are exceptionally struck and have light frost. The eye appeal is excellent!
