Lustrous mint red mellowing to light steel brown on the highpoints with two-thirds of the original color remaining, mostly on the obverse. Choice and nearly flawless. The only defects are a few microscopic ticks on the eyebrow, a small spot of darker toning (not carbon) on the lower right point of star 5, and extremely faint traces of a fingerprint at star 12. LDS, die state c. The crack at ME is clear and the obverse fields are reflective thanks to a fresh die lapping that removed the die lines at stars 5 & 6. Our grade is MS65. Tied for CC#1 with one other example in the Grellman census. The attribution and Dan Holmes provenance are noted on the PCGS label.
