Dark grayish steel and olive brown. The surfaces are dull thanks to uniform extremely faint granularity. No verdigris. There are a couple very shallow vertical scrapes well hidden in the toning over the bust and a couple dull cuts on the rim over TES in STATES. Nothing special except for the die state, which is much earlier than usually seen for this variety. E-MDS, Breen state II. The die crack that arcs through the fraction to the E in UNITED is light and there is no lump inside that E. This is the earliest state seen by this cataloger, but an uncracked example is rumored to exist. Our grade is F12 sharpness net VG8. The attribution and Reynolds provenance are noted on the PCGS Secure label.
