Some intermittent planchet fissures crisscross the obverse and reverse, as sometimes seen on this most common and thus most collectible variety of No Coulter NJ Copper. Some old, long toned over vertical scratches are noted on the reverse. Date is full with 6 weak as usual, centering is good, and die orientation is medal turn as always seen on this and nearly all No Coulter die combinations. PCGS# 494. NGC ID: 2B4E.
