Very attractive glossy medium brown and light chocolate. Smooth and nearly flawless offering great eye appeal. The only marks, and they are trivial, are a small diagonal nick on the nose even with the bottom of the eye and a tiny rim bruise over the D in INDE. A small curved planchet clip affects the top of the first C in CONNEC and the lower part of the 87 in the date. Struck very slightly off center to K-1 leaving the bottom of the 17 tight to the edge of the planchet, but the date is easily readable. A premium example of a tough variety, and it comes with a great provenance. Superior to the Taylor and Perkins examples. Considered second finest by Rothschild. This is the plate coin for the variety in the Miller reference. Weight 149.8 grains.
