Highly lustrous medium steel brown with mellowed mint red covering 10-15% of the reverse. Delicate overtones of light bluish steel cover the fields. Very sharply struck with superb eye appeal. The only defects are a tick on the right upright of the N in CENT, a tiny scratch right of the second A in AMERICA, and a shallow planchet void in the dentils over the E in AMERICA (as struck). Very early die state, die state a, with sharp die lines around the date and in the fields on both sides. The 51 over Inverted 18 feature is bold, as sharp as it gets. A wonderful example of this popular "Redbook" variety. Our grade is MS64. Housed in an older generation PCGS slab.
