Sharpness at least 10 points better but there are 4 dull rim nicks under the 796. The obverse is attractive and smooth but the upper half of the reverse shows microscopic roughness mixed with very tiny pits (visible only under strong magnification). The obverse is glossy medium chocolate brown with lighter brown in protected areas; the reverse is medium chocolate brown on the lower half, reddish chocolate on the upper half. MDS, Breen state III, with a fine die crack through the I in LIBERTY down into the hair. This is the Breen plate coin for the variety in his "Big Blue" encyclopedia. Graded net VF20 and tied for CC#7 in the Bland census. Noyes says VF35 net F15 and tied for CC#10. A decent example of a very tough die variety, and it comes with a nice provenance. Ex Charles H.
