A bit sharper, particularly on the reverse, but covered with fine roughness, especially on the obverse. No marks or verdigris. Rather glossy medium chocolate with lighter brown on the devices. Struck slightly off center to the top leaving the bottom of the date off the planchet but the remainder is strong and easily readable. Comes with a nice provenance. The attribution is noted in the obverse field. Weight 135.0 grains
