appeal. Just a hint of friction on the highest points from mint
state. A small spot of dark toning left of star 5 and another at
the dentils left of star 7 are the notable marks. E-MDS, die state
a late. The repunching close over the left base of the 1 is weak
but visible and the lump below the 5 is clear. Die clashmarks
show clearly on both sides.
