Several points sharper but there is a dull pinch on the rim under the bust tip that caused a slight bend in the planchet at that spot. The surfaces are covered with fine granularity on all but the highpoints, which are smooth. Just a few additional contact marks including two nicks on the neck and another on the leaf under TE in STATES. There are traces of shallow reddish verdigris around LIBERTY and before the face, but they are not significant. The date and legends are complete and clear. Slightly glossy dark olive and steel with lighter steel brown toning covering the devices. Extremely rare M-LDS, Manley state 5.0, with a strong cud break joining TAT to the rim above. The crack through ST is very strong and the section above the crack is slightly sunken as a retained cud. A neat die state and quite rare. Comes with a nice provenance.
