A point or two sharper but corroded with shallow verdigris, most likely saved from soil. Dark greenish olive brown with lighter sandy verdigris in some protected areas. The date is strong and the obverse is from the S-165/166/167 die marriages, but the reverse may be from either the S-165 or S-167 marriage. Struck with the obverse badly misaligned to the top, perhaps 15% off center, while the reverse is centered on the planchet. An impressive error in spite of the poor condition.
