Lot Description

On Target Collection. Judd-235, three lines per stripe (R.5), boasted an R.6 rating not much more than ten years ago but the certified population has swelled over the last decade. On the reverse, the eagle has six tail feathers and three thin lines show per stripe (with one exception), distinguishing from the reverse die that has seven tail feathers and four lines per stripe. Hairlines propagate through the fields of this near-choice pattern example yet prooflike reflectivity remains visible with a loupe. A splash of Navy-blue joins predominant gunmetal character throughout.
