Notes:
"This year both the 1895-O&S are fairly scarce despite having substantial mintages. 1895-O is the first New Orleans' date rated R4 [Very Scarce]. As would be expected from such a scarce coin, its pop is very low above MS 65...

1895-P&O come with satiny luster and strikes typical of their mints."<sup>1

The finest Uncirculated example graded by PCGS is a single MS-67.</sup>
