David Akers (1975/88)
: The first year for the new Liberty Head type designed by Christian Gobrecht. Always very flatly struck on the head of Liberty, the stars, and on the eagle. Much more rare than the standard references and even the low mintage would indicate, particularly in grades above EF. I have never seen a strictly uncirculated piece or anything even really close. Very underrated.
