Beautiful lustrous bluish steel and light olive brown with a delicate splash of reddish brown toning under star 7. A few peeps of faded mint color remain in protected places on the reverse. The surfaces are satiny and offer great eye appeal. Free of contact marks except for a few microscopic ticks on the cheek. Sharply struck M-LDS with smooth, slightly reflective fields on both sides. A die crack connects the bases of ERICA to the stem end and the small lumps from die rust at STA in STATES are gone, but the dentils and segments of the obverse inner circle are sharp. Called MS63 and CC#1 in the Noyes and Bland census lists, Noyes photo #21205. Our grade is MS63 as well. And it comes with a very nice provenance. The attribution and Naftzger-Ahumada provenance are noted on the PCGS label. None finer in BN graded at PCGS.
