Lot Description

25.8 mm. 63.7 grains. Golden-olive surfaces with some blue-green toning on the high points and considerable original tinning remaining in the recesses, especially on the reverse where the design features have better protected the fields. A bit softly struck through the all-seeing eye of the central reverse, as typical of the variety. Minor small handing marks and scattered tiny scratches but very nice eye appeal and quality overall. A somewhat early die state for this issue with a light die crack passing through the lower right first N of WASHINGTON.
