Considered to be a unique specimen of the rare first year silver dollar issue, with a silver plug inserted to correct weight. Quite possibly (and argued by some researchers) to be the very first silver dollar struck by the U.S. mint.
Obverse Description
The original design of Liberty, facing right, with hair flowing as if facing a slight breeze. 8 and 7 stars on the left and right periphery, respectively with the word LIBERTY across the top and the date positioned in the bottom center.
Reverse Description
A small eagle standing on branches surrounded by olive branches that are tied in a bow at the bottom. The words UNITED STATES OF AMERICA around the periphery. No denomination is mentioned.
