Choice lustrous steel brown and chocolate with much of the original mint color remaining, 20% on the obverse and nearly half on the reverse. Great eye appeal with only a few minor marks, including a tiny spot of slightly darker toning over star 4, a pair of faint hairline scratches just left of the date, and a longer one skipping through the first A in AMERICA. Late die state with dentil crumbling and rim cuds at stars 5-7 and some crumbling in the dentils at star 4. Many of the dentils on the obverse are smeared due to the late die state.
