Description

1927-D 5C MS66 NGC. A top-of-the line example of this elusive Denver issue, one of just eight MS66 coins in the combined certified population with none finer, as of (4/10). The luster is intense, shining through a thin layer of patina that is gold at the margins and lavender-blue through the centers. The strike is decidedly above-average on obverse and reverse alike, though the latter side shows a smidgen of the usual softness on the bison's shoulder. Struck from slightly eroded dies that show a frosty peripheral texture, which is most visible in the area surrounding the word LIBERTY.
