The elaborate reverse presents a partial wreath of cotton and corn tied at the base, a ribbon, and DEO EST GLORIA on a tablet above. Perhaps one of Chief Engraver William Barber's final designs, since he died in 1879 and was replaced by his son Charles. Struck in silver (or goloid) with a reeded edge. This glossy and meticulously struck specimen features lemon-gold, ruby-red, and sky-blue toning. A minor lamination (as made) is noted near the M in UNUM.<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coins & Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
