Detailed engraving beautifully recreates the leafs deep veins and the folds of each colorful petal; of these, three are adorned with a sparkling crystal-colored Swarovski element that recreates the appearance of dew drops clinging to the black-eyed Susans petals.

Many coin dealers search all coins when they are received from the Mint. They "cherry-pick" the best coins. Then submit them to be graded, certified, and slabbed by PCGS, NGC, ANACS, etc. When a dealer searches coins, those that they sell in original Mint packaging are only lesser quality coins.
