The obverse is sharper, the reverse weaker, a 7/3+ split. The difference is from the swelling on the reverse that is a characteristic of the late die state. The swelling is strongest at RICA and those letters are gone. Glossy light to medium chocolate brown with smooth surfaces. The date is strong.

Ex Kermit Smyth Collection
