Glossy medium brown with chocolate brown toning in protected areas. The surfaces are smooth except for some tiny planchet flakes on the portrait and at the legs of Liberty plus a fine lamination that meanders near the rim above the bouquet. Later die state with cracks on both sides, especially on the obverse. The details on the reverse are not as sharp as those on the reverse because the obverse die was worn out. The date is bold and the legends are complete except for the C in AUCTORI and opposing E in INDE that are missing thanks to a thin spot in the planchet. One of the nicer examples of this tough variety. Weight 119.0 grains.
