Glossy chocolate and bluish steel brown with lots of frosty tan in protected areas. We do not see any "Cleaning" as claimed on the PCGS label. No roughness and only a few minor contact marks, including a nearly vertical thin nick right of the E in ONE and another smaller one down from the left end of the base of the T in CENT. A very faint scuff of microscopic hairlines shows in the field before the face. LDS with a huge cud break that engulfs 5 points of star 13 and two points of star 12, plus most of the lower left point of star 12 as well leaving only the tip of that point exposed (often called the "Harpooned Whale" die state or N-12/3). Called VF30 net VF25 and CC#4 of the die state in the Noyes census, his photo #32700. Our grade is VF30. The attribution and McGuigan-Holmes-Ellsworth provenance is noted on the PCGS label.
