Thank you to our sponsors!

While this coin grew somewhat more common over the decades with the discovery bag quantities in the mid 20th century. Still, it is a scarce coin, but one that can be had for a price. It is certainly more common in circulated grades than uncirculated, where pieces become notably scarce above MS63 and somewhat rare in MS65. A tiny handful are known above MS66. PLs and DMPLs are very scarce and extremely rare in Gem levels.
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.
