This is a very common coin in all grades through MS66, scarce in MS67, and rare in MS68. While luster is not always all that great on these pieces, the incredible availability of these coins in MS gives persistent buyers the opportunity to pluck nice pieces from among the masses, though perhaps for a premium. While the coin is common in typical MS, they can be surprisingly tough in PL and DMPL, especially in then Gem range.
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.
