No spots or stains and only a couple trivial contact marks, including a shallow nick at the dentil roots over the first A in AMERICA. MDS, die state b. The strike is a bit weak at the top of the obverse and bottom of the reverse, as usual for this variety, but it is better than most. Our grade is MS60+. The attribution is shown on the PCGS label.

Estimated Value $300-UP.
