Sharpness VF30 but cleaned and retoning, now an attractive glossy medium brown and light chocolate with traces of lighter tan in protected areas. Smooth except for a tiny patch of microscopic roughness in the field close before the face. Just a few minor contact marks including a thin diagonal nick left of the hair ribbon and a light rim nick before the neck. MDS, Breen state III, with a clear die crack through RTY to the rim before the face. A very nice example of this tough variety, one that may deserve a slightly higher grade when the retoning "fully matures." And it comes with a very nice provenance. Ex Dr. George P. French-B.
