Lustrous light brown with slightly darker steel brown and chocolate on the obverse devices. The reverse has generous traces of slightly faded mint red remaining in protected areas. There are a few subtle puffs of reddish brown toning on the obverse including one left of the date, another in the field right of star 3, and a tiny one just right of the inner curl. A tiny nick in the middle of the nose is the only notable sign of contact. MDS, Grellman state b, with a clear die crack from the bust tip to the dentils under star 1, but the repunching left of the upright of the 1 is still visible. The reverse is flawless. Graded MS60+ by Del Bland. Our grade is AU58+, very close to mint state. Comes with a nice provenance. The attribution and COL Ellsworth Collection provenance are noted on the PCGS Gold Shield label.Certificate: 36955.63/25649726Pedigree: Ex J. C. Morgenthau & Co. 7/27/1939:718-Willard C.
