Rather glossy light olive brown with darker reddish olive toning in protected areas. Extremely fine roughness covers the planchet and there are traces of very shallow verdigris in some of the protected areas. Tiny diagonal planchet fissures show on the portrait but overall the surfaces are decent and the eye appeal is nice for the grade. Late state of the dies with obvious clashmarks on the obverse. Not perfect but still superior to the Taylor, Perkins, and Ford examples. A condition census example of this tough variety. Weight 138.9 grains
