Attractive chestnut-brown surfaces with a considerable amount of lighter area showing original planchet color. The one "tick" in front of Liberty's eye is about all to note, and I think that might be a planchet flaw.  127 at PCGS, 97 NGC versus 30 at CAC, 5 CACG (Nov. 2026).  A larger pass percentage than typical at CAC as the value difference encourages submission, which overstates the scarcity of this coin.  Between PCGS and NGC, a total of 679 coins in all AU grades, which is just 1.2% of the original Mintage - and this after 40 years of certified grading.  Of those only 52 pass at CAC, plus 12 CACG.  Some percentage of the date struck on problematic planchets, plus the inevitable numismatic abuse suffered by high grade survivors in the pre-ANACS/PCGS days account for much of the lack of specimens that will certify, let alone CAC.  Due to value, a large number of certified XF & AU specimens are shall we say a "bit sketchy", but have gotten into holders due to market forces.  Not a problem with this coin obviously.
