SO-CALLED DOLLAR APPEARANCE/CONDITION:

Choice Uncirculated+ — From the "Jeff Shevlin Collection" (Noted on Slab as Pedigree)

*The dies used for the entire obverse (except for the mine depiction) and outer edges of reverse were heavily polished; creating a brilliant proof-like mirror finish in all of the specified areas. The centralized devices on the obverse/reverse, although not proof-like, are sharp, untoned, and white. However, there are areas in the crevices of both the legends and devices where dark toning can be seen. — In-hand, the medal appears to the naked eye as a blazing, brilliant, frosty example with remarkably defined details.*
