The obverse is weaker; the reverse is stronger, perhaps a 3/7 split. Glossy medium brown with chocolate in protected areas. Mostly smooth but there are some small planchet chips on the obverse portrait. Struck with the obverse misaligned to K-7 causing some weakness along the bottom of the reverse. The attribution is noted in the obverse field. Weight 113.7 grains.
