The surfaces are easily disturbed, leaving a shiny area; this is distracting to the matte proof connoisseur and lowers the grade. On the present coin, small areas of shine are noted at the right cheek, on the headband, and in the reverse fields; on that side, a handful of light hairlines also appear in the fields. The boldly impressed central devices of this fundamentally pleasing honey-gold example, however, are a definite plus.
