      Designer: James B. Longacre
      Edge: Plain
      Obverse Description: A shield flanked on the left and right by leaves topped with a cross with arrows positioned behind at the bottom so the arrow heads and shanks protrude at the sides. The motto IN GOD WE TRUST appears at the top periphery with the date positioned at the bottom center.
      Reverse Description: A large numeral 5 surrounded by 13 stars centered in the design with UNITED STATES OF AMERICA * CENTS around the periphery.
      General Notes: Relatively high mintage of nearly 4 thousand coins (highest in the series, so far, as mintages keep rising). Somewhat common in most grades and becoming scarce as a high-end gem. Gradually tougher with cameo surfaces as well as deep cameo surfaces. Look for anything from blast white to pastel rainbow tones.
