Swimming in an intoxicating swirl of argent luster, this handsome "Dragon" Dollar delivers clear details and no evidence of handling. Far less marked than one might expect for the grade, this piece retains a wholesome eye appeal. The reverse lamination error appears on the characters side with three streaks of defective lamination.
