The notable marks are a couple thin, very light nicks in the middle of the jawline and a dull rim nick at the bottom of the reverse. A rather large straight-edge planchet clip affects the dentils from star 7 nearly to star 10, and the dentils across the planchet show minor strike weakness thanks to the "Blakesley effect" that helps authenticate genuine planchet clip errors.
