While the coin saw a huge mintage, not many were saved in the higher Mint State grades. Most are encountered in the grades of MS62-65, but availability drops off significantly in the MS66 and MS67 range and are quite scarce at these levels. Most are well struck and offer pleasing luster. PCGS #: 9314 NGC ID: BYGT
