Lustrous light bluish steel and violet with mellowed red and rose in protected areas. The surfaces are satiny and the only notable marks are traces of a fingerprint at star 8 and a small spot of darker toning close below that star. MDS with lightly flowlined fields. The early die line from the lower berry right of the E in ONE to the leaf below is gone but the narrow rim cud under the 839 has not formed. Graded MS65RB by PCGS in 1991 and MS64BN in 2015 (PCGS labels #1745.65/7422301 and 37265.64/30999281 included, and the second one shows the attribution and Twin Leaf Collection provenance). Graded MS63 by Noyes and tied for CC#3 in his census, photo #27127. Our grade is MS63. A very attractive example of this "Redbook" variety. Comes with a nice provenance. The attribution is noted on the PCGS label.
