Sharpness close to mint state but covered with fine roughness. Slightly glossy dark olive brown and reddish chocolate with very shallow greenish patina in protected areas. May be a coin that was rescued from soil, but the surfaces are not too bad and the details are bold. Later die state with swelling in the fields and a strong rim cud over NNE. The obverse is well centered on the planchet allowing the rim cud over NNE to be clearly visible. The reverse is misaligned to K-4.5 leaving a small portion of LIB and 785 to be off the planchet. Everything else is strong. Weight 137.1 grains.
