A few points sharper but covered with fine roughness. No verdigris, only minor contact marks including a couple faint scratches hidden in the toning and a minor rim bruise right of the Y in LIBERTY. Chocolate brown and steel. LDS, Breen state V, with a strong radial die crack through the D in UNITED and swelling inside the wreath. A small internal cud break fills much of the inside of that D. The date is strong but the Missing Fraction Bar feature is faint. A popular “Redbook” variety.
