Sharpness of AU-55 but between stars nine and ten is an edge dent, near star eleven is a nick and above the head is a light scratch. Medium chocolate brown with light brown on parts of the hair from excessive rubbing.
On the reverse fields we note a few minor hairlines, and some of Liberty's curls are a bit brighter in color from handling. Sharply impressed, as are most of this die pairing, and the edge dent is extremely minor.
