The "Centered Head" variety. Lustrous steel brown with medium brown in some of the protected areas. Satiny mint frost covers this piece, even the highest points of the devices, and it has great eye appeal. The only defects are a planchet chip with dark impurity inside at the top of the cap (as struck) and a small spot of carbon nestled in the dentils over the N in UNITED. Nicely struck EDS with sharp dentils around the obverse and faint radial die lines in those fields. There are microscopic planchet flakes or fissures in the center of both sides, as usual, but they are only visible under magnification. Our grade is MS60. A premium example of the variety, one of only a very few known in mint state by EAC Standards. Housed in an older generation PCGS slab. (The slab is scratched on the obverse)
