A small splash of maroon appears in the lower hair curls. Essentially unmarked surfaces with strong cartwheel luster on both sides, although Noyes conservatively calls the surfaces "Average." We believe that an "Above Average" or "Choice" designation is in order. A similar description was given by Jon Hansen in the 1973 Naftzger catalog: "Dark brown with dark olive. Frosty and lustrous surfaces that are virtually flawless. Although a little on the dark side, another Gem."<BR><BR><B>Die State III. </B></I>Both sides are lightly flowlined with faded clash marks and a partially raised ridge inside the dentil tips.<BR><BR><B>Census. </B></I>Del Bland records just four Mint State pieces in his Census, and one of them is known only due to a listing in <I>Penny Whimsy</B></I>. Just three Mint State coins are listed by Noyes, including one that was unknown when Bland's Census was published in 2000.<BR><BR><B>Provenance. </B></I><I>William Festus Morgan; J.C.
