Merriam, who appears to have been most active as a die engraver in the 1860s." A low relief but well engraved design. Struck in gold with a reeded edge. A smooth semi-prooflike piece with minor striking weakness on the base of the Roman numerals. Slender vertical die cracks bisect the obverse.<BR><I>From The Jones Beach Collection.</B></I><BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coin/Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
