The obverse is bright lustrous mint red just starting to mellow to steel brown on the highpoints, about 90% of the original red remaining. The reverse is satiny light bluish steel brown faded down from mint red with underlying very faded red covering the fields and protected areas. Both sides have great cartwheel luster and superior eye appeal. The only marks are a few spots of darker toning on the obverse including one on the left side of the E in LIBERTY, another hidden in the hair folds between the ear and the Y, and a third resting on top of star 8. Two tiny, very shallow planchet flakes show in the field just left of the upper lip, as struck. The reverse is flawless. Nicely struck EDS, die state a. All the fine die finishing lines are clear, including the ones extending down to the right in the field around star 5. The always-present die crack through the top of MERIC is faint but visible. Our grade is MS65, CC#1 for the variety in the Grellman census.Ex RARCOA's Rockford Sale, 1/13/1978:47-R. E.
