General Notes: 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. PCGS #: 7166 NGC ID: 254U
