Choice glossy medium brown and light chocolate with steel brown toning on the highpoints. Smooth and nearly flawless showing only trivial contact marks. The only notable defects are a very faint hairline scratch over the end of the pole, a couple small planchet flakes at the first S in STATES, and a barely visible rim bruise at the right end of the fraction. LDS, Manley state 2.0, Fuhrman 2, with strong die clashmarks on the obverse. The reverse is rotated 75 degrees clockwise relative to the normal head-to-foot die orientation. Graded VF25 and tied for CC#3 honors in the Noyes census, his photo #73602 (the other 25 in his census is clearly inferior in terms of color and surfaces). Our grade is VF25+. Comes with a very nice provenance.
