Exquisite Liberty Design by Christian Gobrecht
Obverse: Christian Gobrecht designed both the obverse and the reverse. On the obverse, a young Liberty faces left wearing a coronet on which her name is inscribed. Her effigy is encircled by thirteen stars and an inscription of the date, “1903.”
Reverse: Two inscriptions, the name of the issuing country, “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,” and the face value of the coin, “2 1/2 D.,” encircle Gobrecht’s reverse design. That design features an eagle. The bird holds arrows and an olive branch while guarding a union shield. Christian Gobrecht was the US Mint’s third Chief Engraver. He was a prolific designer of coins and medals.
Well Maintained MS63 with Green Label
This coin received a grade of Mint State 63 from Numismatic Guaranty Company (NGC). That grade is given to coins that have about average strikes and moderate marks or hairlines. NGC has provided this grade on a green label, which represents a partnership between Rare Coin Company of America (RARCOA) and NGC. In order to bear the Green Label, prior to being submitted to NGC for certification and encapsulation, an example must first meet a set of criteria set by the team at RARCOA.
