M-LDS, Breen state IV early, with dull die lines at ITE but before the rim cud formed at TE in UNITED. Our grade is AU55. The attribution and Koshkarian provenance are noted on the PCGS label. PCGS population 3; 5 finer, 1 in 62, 1 in 63+, 1 in 64, 2 in 65 for the variety. Estimate Value $5,000 - UP
