ANACS authenticated and graded AU 53. Frosty light olive and steel brown with ample traces of faded mint red showing, particularly on the reverse. Just a trace of rub on the highest points from mint state, but the strike is soft on the shoulder, the truncation, and the opposing areas on the upper part of the reverse. The only notable mark is a small spot of reddish brown crud or verdigris at the dentils right of the bottom of star 10. MDS, die state b. The repunching under the first 1 is faint, nearly gone, and the line at the throat is still visible. The attribution is noted on the ANACS label.
