Mintages drop occurs, once again, with the 1891 compared to previous years. Yet, as most pieces are still in existence, this issue remains a type coin. There were 2,350 coins originally struck. Common without cameo designations except for the finest of gems. Cameo coins are slightly scarcer with deep cameos being quite rare.
Obverse Description

Reverse Description
