Sharpness VF25 but the reverse is covered with very fine granularity under mostly glossy light chocolate brown and steel toning. No verdigris, just minor marks including a very thin planchet fissure at the bottom of the cap, a dull tick in the field off the end of the nose, and a small pinprick under the I in AMERICA. MDS, Breen state II early, with a subtle wave across the obverse from the middle of the cap to the dentils before the chin. Graded VF20 and tied for CC#8 in the Del Bland census. Noyes says VF25 net F15 and tied for CC8, his photo #32991. Our grade is F15+. Comes with a very nice provenance.
