<B>1927-S<5C> MS65 NGC.</B></I> The deep dove-gray centers are surrounded by pale gold, rose, and ice-blue toning. The strike is crisp, particularly on LIBERTY, the mintmark, and the reverse legends. A hint of softness is seen on the base of the date and on the hair directly above the Indian's braid. The satiny fields are unperturbed aside from a fully retained and nearly imperceptible lamination in the field beneath the bison's flank. Only 3,430,000 pieces were struck, and most went directly into circulation. Uncirculated survivors are congregated into MS62 to MS64 grades, with few achieving status as a Gem. Census: 12 in 65, 1 finer (9/06).
