Comments

Gilroy Roberts monogram, which some confuse for a hammer and sickle, appears on the truncation.


Unlike Proof coins, where the planchets are specially prepared including polishing, Enhanced Uncirculated coins use standard planchets. The proof-like appearance results from wire brushing, laser polishing, and laser frosting of the die.
