Mint state sharpness but there are three tiny planchet voids on the neck with darker planchet slag inside the voids, as struck. The only signs of contact are a pinprick in the field before the eyebrow, another right of the Y, and numerous small nicks inside the wreath around HALF CENT. Very attractive lustrous light steel brown with bluish steel overtones in the protected areas on the reverse. Our grade is MS sharpness net AU50, the deduction attributable mostly to the nicks inside the wreath. LDS, Manley state 3.0, with a fine die crack from the crosslet of the 4 through the bust tip. The reverse is rotated 10 degrees CCW. Not perfect but certainly one of the finest known of this rare variety. The attribution and Missouri Cabinet provenance are noted on the PCGS label. (The slab is badly scuffed on the reverse)
