SOLD October, 2025. Unquestionably original with moderate steel-gray color overall, some reddish-brown highlights on the higher points of relief.  I commonly associate this toning pattern with long slumber in a coin envelope or Whitman-style folder.  Fairly bold strike for the date, with a very sharp Obverse, the Reverse die showing a bit of stress lines.  Just a touch weak on the Bison's head otherwise better than most I see.  Unlike many of the date, including quite a number in certified holders, NO planchet flaws other problems of that sort.  No obvious marks other than the one on the Native's neck.  This has a shot at CAC based upon the originality and its "crusty" nature, although I would consider it a long shot based upon their persnickety nature.   Please note that due to value this will require Registered Mail shipping, which is slower delivery time.
