Slightly glossy dark steel brown and olive. No verdigris, and the only additional contact mark is a tiny rim nick over the left side of the M in AMERICA. LDS, Manley state 2.0. The date is strong and the legends are clear. The large edge lettering is complete and bold. Third finest known of this extremely rare variety. A very important opportunity for the advanced collector. Weight 99.3 grains.
