The Denver Mint produced just over a million of these coins, which is more than its Philadelphia Mint, yet this date is more challenging to find. Circulated examples are scarcer than later Walker Issues. Uncirculated pieces and especially gem examples are accessible but far from common. Mint State examples of this date are known to have a very strong strike and luster. Up to and including MS65 the value progresses quite gradually. MS66 is considered scarce and the few MS67s are much rarer.
