Description

PCI 1891-CC MS 65. The so-called "Spitting Eagle" variety. Sometime during the minting process, a small chip was created in the reverse die just in front of the eagle's beak. Conversely, this chip caused a small, raised blob to be struck into a number of coins that resembles an emission from the mouth. This coin has very few of the normal abrasions, and is moderately toned a pretty golden color.
