Lustrous mint red fading to steel and light olive brown on the devices, nearly half the planchet still showing slightly mellowed mint color. Virtually flawless except for a dull nick on the tip of the chin plus a few inconsequential ticks elsewhere on the chin and lower edge of the bust. M-LDS, die state b. The die lines seen in the earlier state are gone and the upper half of the date is weakening due to die wear, especially the top of the 8. Called MS64 and CC#4 in the Noyes census, his photo #55027. Our grade is MS64, tied for CC#7 in the Grellman census. The attribution and Naftzger Collection provenance are noted on the PCGS label. 406651.65/18900396 Ex Willard C.
