Sharpness F12 or better but there are shallow pits scattered over the obverse, a few dull contact marks on the neck of the portrait, and a couple more marks on the knees of Ms Liberty. Partly glossy dark olive brown with lighter brown on the highpoints. Late die state with a very strong cud break on the right side of the reverse, and the cud encroaches well into the shield. Not perfect but a great die state. Comes with an important provenance. Weight 135.7 grains.
