This die see a full impression of the 2 digit to the left of the 3 digit. Light copper orange-gold toning and steely luster are the highlights of this long ago graded example. Bright light viewing exposes moderate cartwheels. Heavy die crack are noted throughout the obverse with a bold arcing crack over the date and a tiny cud on top of the 3 digit.
