This design was used only in 1866 and part of 1867 before being replaced, making it a collectible and historically significant variation. The coin is in Choice Fine (F+) condition, with even wear, clear details, and attractive natural coloring. The Shield on the obverse and the rays on the reverse remain well-defined. The coin in the photos is the exact coin you will receive, a great addition for collectors of 19th-century U.S. coinage.
