Lot 360

Sharpness VF35 or slightly better with some short, light, disjointed scratches from the top of the head reaching to the feet of TY, plus others at ES-OF down to the E in ONE. These marks are old and blend perfectly with the natural patina, thereby detracting very little from the otherwise excellent eye appeal. Nice glossy chocolate brown delicately mottled with some steel brown and olive tones. M-LDS, Breen state III. The arcing die crack from IC through the fraction is clear and is joined by a branch crack to the adjacent R. Called EF40 net VF30 and tied for CC#6 in the Bland census. Noyes says VF35 net VF25 and tied for CC#9, photo #29806. DWH #2795.
