Lustrous tan and light steel brown with darker steel brown toning on the highpoints. Traces of faded mint red are present on the reverse. There is a small splash of steel brown toning at the 17 in the date, another at the dentils under star 3, and more at ON in ONE. The splash at the 17 contains traces of very fine carbon. No notable contact marks. LDS with a fully formed "Finger Mouse" on top of the head below the left point of star 8 (the "finger" points to star 7). The shallow depression in the field below star 5 (always present in the later die states of this variety) is obvious. Our grade is AU55. The attribution is incorrectly shown as N-3 on the PCGS label.
