Type with a Straight Plow Beam and Narrow Shield. Choice glossy medium brown and light chocolate. Smooth and about as nice as you can find for one of these early state coppers. The only "defects" are a tiny planchet chip at the dentils off the right end of the plow and a shallow depression in the planchet above the left top of the shield (both as struck). Later die state with die cracks and minor swelling on the obverse. The date and legends are complete and clear. Struck slightly off center to K-2 affecting some of the dentils but none of the legends. Our grade is VF35 Choice. A premium example, clearly in the condition census for the variety. And it comes with a nice provenance. Weight 151.7 grains.
