The strike is off center toward the lower right obverse and upper right reverse, with some of the devices in those areas partially or fully off the flan. Both sides are overall rough in texture with scattered surface scale, although most major design elements are discernible, and the digits 1 and 87 in the date are clear. PCGS# 370.
