Attractive glossy medium brown blending to light reddish chocolate in protected areas. Essentially flawless except for some microscopic planchet chipping in the fields and a couple tiny rim bruises, the strongest at the top of the obverse. The date is bold and the legends are strong. Struck slightly off center to K-4. A nice piece, close to VF20. Weight 136.4 grains.
