Slightly sharper with microscopic roughness well hidden under attractive glossy chocolate brown toning. The highpoints are a lighter shade of brown and the eye appeal of this piece is excellent in spite of the imperfect surfaces. No verdigris and the only marks are a dull nick in the field off the chin and an irregular rim over ONN in CONNEC. The date is weak but easily readable and the legends are clear. Struck with the reverse rotated 75 degrees clockwise relative to the normal head-to-foot die orientation. Comes with a nice provenance. Weight 148.4 grains.
