MDS. The fields are covered with fine radial die flowlines and the small lump in the field over star 4 is clear. Called MS63 and CC#2 in the Bland census. Noyes says MS62 and tied for CC#2, his photo #35411. Our grade is MS62+. The attribution and Naftzger Collection provenance are noted on the PCGS label.
