Comments: Repunching is visible beneath the cross bar and base of the 4 digit and above/below the flag of the 5 digit. Die chips around Stars 3 through 6. A faint die scratch is visible in the upper shield between shield line 12 and the right edge of the shield. This die scratch will be an important diagnostic for identifying a later die state. Reverse B is essentially perfect except for a faint die crack from rim to AME(R)ICA. There is no flash around the bow.
