Very close to mint state with just a hint of rub on the highest points, but there are some barely visible hairline scratches in the field right of the main curl. These marks are not visible to the unaided eye. Frosty steel brown and light chocolate with traces of faded mint color on the reverse. A puff of slightly darker olive brown toning right of the hair bun is a good identifying feature that doesn't require a strong glass. MDS, die state b. The earlier die lines at the dentils near star 3 are mostly gone. Softly struck on the tip of the coronet and star 5 (as usual for this variety). Tied for CC#4 in the Grellman census. Comes with an important provenance.Ex Louis Helfenstein, Lester Merkin 8/14/1964:250 (as N-21)-Willard C. Blaisdell 9/1976 (via Del Bland)-R. E. "Ted" Naftzger, Jr. (via William C. Noyes)-Fred H.
