Frosty light to medium brown with puffs of darker olive brown toning on the reverse. The surfaces are satiny and lustrous, but the uneven toning on the reverse does affect the eye appeal. The surfaces are smooth and the only marks are microscopic. A very light curved hairline scratch in the field off the chin and a tiny tick on the jawline near the ear lobe are the only notable marks. M-LDS with very fine die cracks on the reverse but the die line at the dentil tips over OF is still visible. Graded MS60 and tied for CC#4 in the Noyes census, his photo #22621. Our grade is MS60. Comes with a nice provenance. The attribution and COL Ellsworth Collection provenance are noted on the PCGS Gold Shield label.

Certificate #37240.64/35082578
