Ten points sharper but there is a horizontal scratch through the hand holding the arrow, a couple more in the field right of the feet, and a dull scrape on the lower right part of the shield. Otherwise this piece is choice and the toning is a very attractive glossy brown and light chocolate. The planchet is not perfectly round thanks to a couple incipient planchet clips that affect only the dentils. Comes with a great provenance. Removed from an NGC holder called AU Details Scratched (NGC label #2048905-012 included, and it shows the attribution and Ryder-Partrick provenance). Weight 73.6 grains.
