Ten points sharper but lightly burnished on both sides and on the edge. In spite of the old "improvement," the toning and eye appeal of this piece are quite nice. Glossy medium brown and light chocolate blending to medium chocolate brown in protected areas. The date and devices are clear and the only notable marks are some faint scratches in the field below the plow handles and a minor rim bruise over the left side of the M in UNUM. Nicely struck and well centered on the planchet showing dentils all the way around both sides. The "Bridle" feature is bold. Weight a rather hefty 162.6 grains.
