The obverse is glossy medium steel brown blending to chocolate in protected areas. The reverse is lustrous medium steel brown with satiny surfaces and solid mint state eye appeal. Just a few minor marks on the obverse including two tiny ticks on the cheek and a light scratch in the field left of the cap. The reverse is choice, essentially flawless. LDS, Breen state II late, with strong die clashmarks on the obverse, lighter ones on the reverse. The fields behind the portrait have become slightly wavy due to die wear. Graded MS60 by Naftzger. Noyes says AU55 net AU50 and tied for CC#2, his photo #20957. Bland says AU55 and tied for CC#2. A wonderful example of the "Fallen 4" die variety, and it comes with a long, impressive provenance.
