A couple points sharper but cleaned and retoned a rather glossy medium brown mixed with some coppery tan on the obverse. The surfaces are decent but show minor roughness and there is a small planchet void on the bust of Ms Liberty. A minor planchet clip is located over the C in AUCTORI. The date is weak but readable and the legends are complete. The attribution is noted in the obverse field. Another relatively modest piece that comes with a nice provenance. Weight 123.1 grains.
