Silver Dollar, 1891, NGC MS 65 CAC
Although there is some weakness above Liberty’s ear, and the eagle’s breast feathers are not entirely full, this is a sharper strike than usually encountered. So, too, the lustre is atypically fresh. There are scattered ticks, consistent with the grade, and a small mint-caused flaw in the hair above Liberty’s brow. An overall creamy hue, with peripheral toning of electric green to purple to russet.
