Sharpness F12 overall, considerably better near the rims, but there are several dents on the portrait that have been partially smoothed by burnishing. The dents were strong enough to create bulges on the reverse that weakened CENT and the bottom of the wreath. Retoned glossy dark steel and olive brown with slightly lighter highpoints. No verdigris. EDS, Breen state I, with an uncracked reverse. Graded VG8 net G6 and CC#6 in the Noyes census, his photo #20963. Graded net VG7 and tied for CC#3 honors in the Bland/Breen census. Our grade is net G5. The finest of the variety is a net F15 example in the ANS Collection. The next best is a net VG8. Not much from which to select for this very rare variety. 1422.98/34995023 Ex C.
