Choice lustrous mint red fading to light steel brown on the

steel toning over the hair bun and another even smaller
one hidden on the berry under the R in AMERICA are the
only marks, and they are microscopic. Sharply struck EDS,

bold and the diagonal lines around the date are clear.
Our
grade is consistent with the PCGS grade.
