Glossy light olive and steel brown. Corrosion free surfaces show only minor contact marks, notably light nicks around ONE and a thin nick over the E in UNITED. E-MDS without any trace of the die crack through star 3 and crisp dentils all the way around both sides. There is just the barest hint of swelling in the field over the bust tip plus tiny areas of swelling over star 3, right of star 6, and under the inner hair bun. Otherwise the obverse fields are perfectly smooth. The O in ONE is starting to weaken but remains complete. Tied for CC#3 in the Noyes census as VF35 net VF30, his photo #26875. Our grade is VF30. A great example of this very tough die variety. The attribution and COL Ellsworth Collection provenance are noted on the PCGS Gold Shield label.
