Glossy dark steel brown and chocolate with lighter brown in protected areas on the obverse. Looks smooth to the unaided eye but a glass reveals extremely fine roughness over the planchet. No contact marks or verdigris and the eye appeal is nice. E-MDS with minor crumbling at the dentil roots under the 35 and to the right. The bottoms of the 3 & 5 and outer point of star 13 were all affected by die shift and double profiles show on stars 10-13. The reverse is rotated 40 degrees clockwise. Our grade is VF25. The attribution and Twin Leaf Collection provenance are noted on the PCGS label. Comes with a nice provenance.
