A few are known in MS67, and these realize huge premiums on the occasions they come to the market. PLs and DMPLs are scarce across the board and are genuinely rare in MS65 or above.

Reverse: 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.
