The obverse is G5 but the reverse is significantly weaker, as always for this variety, perhaps Fair-2+. The surfaces are smooth and the edge shows no trace of "grip marks" or tooling. There are numerous small planchet chips on the portrait, mostly on the head (possibly as struck). Glossy light chocolate brown. The date and LIBERTY are strong but only half of the devices on the reverse are clear. MDS, Breen state III. Graded G5 net AG3 and tied for CC#7 in the Noyes census, his photo #36866.
