Pictures are just about spot-on for in hand on this one. One of the prettiest uncleaned, un-messed-with examples I've seen for this gold-standard key date and MM.
Really lovely russet tone on the reverse.
Current eBay auctions for PCGS 06 run $1375 to $1500.
Asking $1050 shipped:
Note the graze center reverse through the "p" of pluribus. It's not at all distracting, in fact I mentioned it for disclosure in case you missed it from the image. You can see it's clearly very old by how overtoned it is. More importantly, our hosts didn't find it distracting either and awarded this piece an 06 rather than an 04. I personally think it's 08 quality for the money. Remember it's on a dime and the image you're looking at is roughly the size of a CD ROM (seriously, hold a CD ROM up next to it).

We are like children who look at print and see a serpent in the last letter but one, and a sword in the last.
