Choice glossy medium brown and light chocolate with traces of faded mint red in protected areas on the reverse. Smooth and very attractive with just a hint of friction on the highpoints. There are a few minor defects including a dull nick on the eye brow, a couple nicks on the rim over NIT in UNITED, and shallow planchet laminations under the T in CENT and below the end of the wreath stem (as struck). M-LDS. The die line connecting the feet of the I & T in UNITED is gone but the dull wave from the bottom of the second S in STATES to the left foot of the first A in AMERICA has not formed. There is clear doubling on the tops of UNIT. Our grade is AU50+, close to AU55. A nice example of the Plain Hair Cord with Small Letters variety, a popular "Redbook" type. The attribution and COL Ellsworth Collection provenance are noted on the PCGS Gold Shield label.
