Sharpness near VF20 but covered with moderate roughness under slightly glossy dark olive brown toning. The roughness is strongest at ET where those two letters are significantly weakened, but there is no verdigris. The only mark is a dull, very old scratch from the forehead to the throat. The small date is bold and the legends are clear except for the weakness at ET. A decent if imperfect example of this popular "Redbook" variety. Weight 125.3 grains.
