It represents the initial design variation of the series, featuring eight tail feathers on the reverse eagle, a detail that was modified shortly after production began. Crafted from 90 percent silver, this coin contains 0.7734 troy ounces of precious metal. The inscriptions on the coin include the traditional American mottos "In God We Trust" and "United States of America," alongside the "One Dollar" denomination. This specimen has been certified in Mint State 65 (MS-65) condition, indicating a highly preserved state of preservation with strong luster and minimal marks. It offers enthusiasts a wonderful opportunity to study the very beginning of one of America's most famous coin designs.
