Rather glossy dark olive and steel with lighter steel brown highpoints. Covered with fine roughness with some light scratches in the fields, all blended into the toning. There are some small rim nicks left of the date and there are traces of verdigris tucked around the wreath, but it takes a glass to see them. The eye appeal is not as bad as the description might make it appear. What makes this piece special is the terminal die state. There is a strong die crack through star 5 to the dentils over stars 4 & 6, and the section outlined by the crack is a raised retained cud. The lower end of the cud over star 4 is clearly raised while the upper end near star 6 is sunken. One of only a few known in the terminal state and only one of those is marginally finer than this piece. Another prize for the die state specialist. Our grade is net F12. The attribution is noted on the PCGS label.
