The only defects are a spot of very fine reddish corrosion at CA in AMERICA and a collection of tiny planchet flakes on the AM (as struck). MDS. The section between the two cracks connecting the 1 & 7 is raised nearly to the height of those numerals and the crack from the first 1 to star 1 extends through that star and joins the earlier crack that connects star 1 to star 2.
