Owner's Comments

Step count: 5335 - while not fully struck this coin still shows a strong strike with minimal areas of "flatness" - this example displays beautiful toning atypical of the Jefferson series with brilliant greens and yellows on the obverse and a reverse that looks as though Monticello is burning; with bold yellows, reds, oranges, and violets - a truly unique and remarkable example
