This is a very common Philadelphia-mint coin in all grades up through MS65, with MS66s scarce and MS67s quite rare. PLs and DMPLs are challenging in any grade for this issue, but their scarcity becomes quite noticeable in the Gem range, where few are known -- only a few are known in DMPLMS67, putting great pressure on the very tiny number of DMPLMS66 survivors.

Obverse Description

Portrait of Liberty centered. On the left are found 7 stars with the words E*PLURIBUS*UNUM followed by 6 stars on the right. The date is positioned at the bottom.

Reverse Description

The heraldic eagle is centered holding a bunch of arrows and branch surrounded by and olive leaves. The words UNITED STATES OF AMERICA * ONE DOLLAR frame the periphery. Mint mark, if any, appears above the letters DO of DOLLAR.
