From an in-demand issue, both sides of this Choice About Uncirculated example have a rich steel gray color with shades of amber. With a crisp and strong strike, those with a numismatic eye will realize the scarcity of such a strike on this issue. Only the lightest of rub exists on the highest points of the dragon design. Bound to draw much action on the auction block, this example will enhance even the most advanced of collections. Estimate: $5,000 - $8,000.
