A few minor contact marks, including a dull rim bruise under the bust tip. The date is bold and the legends are clear. Very rare EDS, Breen state I. The obverse die has not been ground down so the shoulder loop and drapery are normal and the reverse is rotated 70 degrees CCW from the usual head-to-foot orientation. Our grade is VG8.
