Glossy dark olive brown and steel. Looks smooth to the unaided eye but a glass reveals microscopic granularity under the glossy toning. No raised verdigris but there is a film of dark greenish patina that covers most of the planchet. The only notable contact mark is a thin diagonal hairline scratch in the field off the lower end of the hair ribbon. MDS, Breen state III, with strong die clashmarks on the reverse. Graded VF30 net F15 and tied for CC#29 in the Noyes census, his photo #34495. Graded net VF25 by Bland. Our grade is net VF25. The attribution is noted on the NGC label. 508685-001 Ex Jack H.
