Very attractive glossy light to medium brown with slightly darker steel brown on the highpoints. No trace of corrosion or verdigris, just minor contact marks. The only significant marks are an old vertical scratch between the 9 & 4, a light scratch very well hidden along the upper edge of the cap, and a rim nick over the second T in STATES. MDS, Breen state II, Heck state 1, with clashmarks on both sides. Unevenly struck, as usual, with weakness on the lower right of the reverse, a result of that die being slightly misaligned. A very nice example of the popular "Office Boy" reverse variety, the title resulting from the poor layout of the legend on the reverse. Our grade is net VF30. Comes with a nice provenance. 901374.45/35901984 Ex Coins & Currency, Inc. (Philadelphia)-C. Douglas Smith-Alfred Bonard-Carlyle A.
