Glossy medium steel brown and light chocolate. Some minor marks and roughness but essentially just heavily worn with decent surfaces. The date is gone as is nearly all of the reverse, but the massive terminal die crack at RTY is clear (diagnostic for the date and variety). Less than 10 are known in this die state and the finest of those grades VG10 and is in the ANS collection. A prize for the collector of die states. Noyes photo #29825. Comes with a fabulous provenance.
