Glossy chocolate and medium olive with lighter brown toning in protected areas on the obverse and darker steel brown on the highpoints. The surfaces are smooth and this piece is choice, essentially flawless. Struck a bit off center to K-7.5 but the date and legends are complete and strong. A wonderful example that comes with a great provenance, and the attribution is neatly noted on the edge in yellow ink. Weight 133.5 grains.
