Glossy light to medium brown with darker chocolate brown toning in protected areas. The surfaces are smooth but there are a few contact marks including a nick or chip midway between star 1 and the chin, a nick at the hair below star 8, and a vertical nick just right of the nostril. Only the first mark catches your eye. MDS, the usual die state for this rare variety. The obverse die is new and sharp while the reverse die is old and worn out. The contrast is obvious, and that feature helps identify the variety. Graded VF25 net F15 and tied for CC#7 in the Noyes census. Our grade is VF20. The attribution and COL Ellsworth Collection provenance are noted on the PCGS Gold Shield label.
