Glossy medium chocolate brown and steel with lighter chocolate toning in protected areas. The surfaces are smooth and show only trivial contact marks with fine dirt in some of the protected areas. A speck of reddish verdigris at the top of the ear is the only notable defect, and it is barely visible under magnification. Extremely rare early die state before the "Mouse" break on top of the head below star 8. Only 7 without the Mouse break are known to us. This piece rivals the finest of that small group, and several of them have significant defects. The reverse is slightly misaligned to K-1.5, as always for this die state, causing weakness at OF. Our grade is F15 (and the reverse could easily be called VF20). A very important piece for the collector of die states. The attribution is noted on the PCGS label.
