. Glossy
medium brown and light chocolate with underlying lighter red-
dish brown toning in protected areas. Possibly lightly cleaned
long ago but the color and eye appeal are quite nice. A faint
speck of darker toning in the field off the tip of the coronet is a

fication. Sharply struck EDS, die state a, with short die lines
from the dentils at stars 1 & 2. Removed from an ICG slab
graded MS63BN (ICG label #1419983101 included).
Our grade
is MS60 sharpness net AU58 for the light cleaning.
Tied
for CC#10 in the Grellman census. The attribution is shown on
the PCGS label.
