The notable marks are a reddish chocolate spot at the dentils over star 3, a planchet flake on the neck near the throat, and a faint scuff in the field above star 12. M-LDS, die state c early. The wave in the field behind the main curl is just starting to show. Our grade is AU58. The attribution is noted on the PCGS label. PCGS population 1; 1 finer in 64.
