Lustrous mint red mellowing to light steel brown with nearly half the planchet showing mint color. Frosty and very attractive. The notable marks are a shallow planchet flake on the lower left of the 8, a trio of tiny ticks off the bust tip, and a speck of carbon tucked under star 11. Italic 5. Choice lustrous mint red mellowing to bluish steel and olive on the devices, at least a third of the mint color showing on both sides. Nicely struck LDS, die state f, showing fine die cracks connecting several of the stars and weakness at ED STATES. A choice example. Our grade is MS63, tied for CC#8 in the Grellman census.
