High in the condition census for the date, this spectacular coin is graced by deep steel gray toning, with darker highlights near the devices, and lighter hues on the devices.

Sharply struck by the dies, with full stars, curls and even the talons on the eagle. PCGS has graded only 4 this high, with 5 graded higher for the date. This particular example has a die crack from the edge through the twelfth star to Liberty's curls, clashed arrowheads at the eighth star, and shield stripes below Liberty's ear, also from clashing.
