A mintage drop occurs with the 1890 compared to previous years; but, as most pieces were saved, this issue remains in the type coin category. There were 2,740 coins originally struck. Common without cameo designations except for the finest of gems. Cameo coins are slightly scarcer with deep cameos being quite rare.
Obverse Description
