Obverse Description: A shield flanked on the left and right by leaves topped with a cross with arrows positioned behind at the bottom so the arrow heads and shanks protrude at the sides. The motto IN GOD WE TRUST appears at the top periphery with the date positioned at the bottom center.
Reverse Description: A large numeral 5 surrounded by 13 stars centered in the design with UNITED STATES OF AMERICA * CENTS around the periphery.
General Notes: This date has a low mintage of 1,000 coins of which most were saved, making this issue tough but extremely accessible. Commonly found in most grades and becoming scarce only as a gem. More difficult to locate with cameo surfaces and nonexistent with a deep cameo. Look for pastel type toning in nice gems.
