Mostly glossy light olive and steel brown, the reverse toning a couple shades darker than the obverse. The obverse is smooth but at least half of the reverse is lightly corroded with traces of crusty verdigris in protected places, especially at ERICA. MDS, the only die state for this rare variety that was struck using a worn out obverse die from the N-7 marriage mated with a new reverse die that was later used in the N-14 marriage. Our grade is net VF20+, close to VF25. The attribution and COL Ellsworth Collection provenance are noted on the PCGS Gold Shield label.
