Very attractive glossy medium brown with frosty luster showing through in the fields on both sides. Just a light touch of friction on the highpoints from mint state. Most of the planchet is perfectly smooth but there are a few fissures. A fissure that meanders across the bust and a deeper one at the top of the head of the seated figure are the notable fissures, but there are a few additional trivial flaws on both sides. Later die state with the right top of the T in AUCTORI faint. Struck slightly off center to K-1 leaving the very bottom of the date off the planchet. Otherwise the date and legends are all bold. A beautiful piece, considered to be very high in the condition census for the variety. Weight 159.9 grains.
