Frosty dark steel brown and chocolate. The surfaces are smooth and free of verdigris. Only minor marks including a small pit on the lower edge of the bust, a diagonal nick under the T in LIBERTY, and a pair of dull nicks left of the first S in STATES. Very rare EDS, Breen state I, before any cracks or cud breaks on the reverse. A nice example of a variety that usually comes with significant surface problems. Graded VF20 net F12 and tied for CC#6 in the Noyes census, his photo #32855. Our grade is F15, tied for finest known of the early die state.
