Several points sharper but the fields and protected areas are covered with very fine granularity. No verdigris but there are some contact marks including a rim bruise left of the L in LIBERTY, several light scratches in the field before the portrait (all blended into the toning), a planchet chip on the bottom of the neck, and a collection of tiny ticks at the B in LIBERTY. Only the rim bruise is a distraction. MDS, Breen state III, with die cracks on the reverse. The date and legends are clear but there is weakness at STATES OF due to the die state. Ex Douglas F. Bird-Lucien Birkler Collection (includes the Bird sales ticket)
