Original light brown surfaces with obvious signs of original planchet color in the protected areas around the lettering and wreath. To show the variability of production at the Mint, and subsequently how coins are graded, this coin is not quite as well struck as the other PCGS AU-55 example (#2823689) I also have listed, as far as the Obverse goes, however shows a stronger Reverse. The non-CAC coin is probably technically AU-58 for wear, however the brightness and more obvious luster on this coin is what got it this coin the “bean”. CAC tends to prefer light, bright Bronze coinage that show some signs of original planchet color. The PCGS images were not accurate as far as the actual color of the coin, so I have included my own. Please note that due to value this will require Insured shipping with Signature Confirmation, hence the S&H shown.

This seller has enabled "Manual Invoice Approval" on their account. This means that after you complete checkout, you will NOT be automatically redirected to PayPal (if applicable) and will not be able to complete payment immediately. Instead, the seller will review the invoice and may, or may not, add or subtract additional charges, as explained in their policies and/or listing description. When the invoice is updated and approved by the seller, you will receive an automated email notification later, and you will be able to pay the updated invoice as you would normally.
All checks must clear prior to payment of purchase, which may take up to 12 Business days. IF YOU CHOOSE TO PURCHASE MULTIPLE ITEMS, PLEASE WAIT FOR AN INVOICE PRIOR TO PAYMENT. I combine all shipping charges to the minimum necessary to get purchases to the customer. Please be aware that the USPS has recently increased postage for package shipments and Insurance - $7-$9 for shipping may look like a lot, but it barely covers my actual cost. If you have any questions, just ask.
