Frosty medium chocolate brown and steel. Looks mint state at first glance but there is a touch of friction on the highpoints. The planchet is smooth and satiny except for a patch of reddish brown toning under CE in CENT, and the reddish area contains a dusting of microscopic corrosion. There are a few tiny ticks on the jaw and some other microscopic contact marks on both sides, none significant. LDS. The earlier dashes on either side of the bottom of the 9 are gone. Our grade is net EF45+ but it has the eye appeal of a higher grade. The attribution and COL Ellsworth Collection provenance are noted on the PCGS Gold Shield label.
