Nicely recolored frosty chocolate and steel brown with underlying reddish brown toning in the fields and protected areas on the reverse. The fields are satiny and the eye appeal is nice in spite of the uneven retoning. Just a few minor marks including a thin line of planchet flakes between stars 5 & 6 (as struck), a small spot of darker toning in the field near the forehead, and a few very light but fresh hairline scratches at the stem tip. MDS with a triangular lump hanging down from the dentils over star 9. A clear double profile shows from the forehead down to the chin, on the eye, ERTY, and the ear. The reverse is rotated 45 degrees clockwise. There is no notable evidence of "Environmental Damage" as stated on the NGC label; perhaps they meant to say "Improperly Cleaned." Our grade is AU50 sharpness net EF40. The attribution and Jules Reiver Collection provenance are noted on the NGC label.
