Glossy reddish chocolate brown with lighter brown on the devices. Rather smooth but a glass reveals minor roughness in a few places but no verdigris. Minor marks, all lost in the toning. A shallow dig off the point of the horse's chest and a dull mark close to the plow below the beam. The date is complete and easily readable, which is unusual for this variety. Struck over a Connecticut copper. LIB shows at the end of the plow handles and NEC is clearly visible left of the shield. Unevenly struck from a very late state of the obverse die with severe failure behind the head. A really neat example of this tough variety, and it comes with a wonderful provenance. The attribution and Spiro-Ford-Martin provenance are noted on the PCGS label. 763355.25/44621867 Ex Dr. Jacob N. Spiro, Hans M. F. Schulman 3/18/1955:1616-F. C. C. Boyd Estate-John J.
