Rev: A Roman numeral V for the denomination is set within a wreath of corn, wheat, and cotton. Bright silver gray mirrors support frosted design motifs in a heavily contrasting manner, with a nuance of pale champagne adding greatly to the overall appeal. A simply gorgeous coin for the assigned grade, one with strong physical character and equally strong eye appeal. Slightly more than half a dozen examples of this Judd number are known, this being one of the finest.
