Sharpness very near G4 but the planchet is covered with uniform microscopic granularity under a rather glossy dark chocolate and steel brown patina. No verdigris or notable marks. The date and legends are nearly complete, TES OF the notable exception. Extremely rare terminal die state, Breen state X, with a raised retained cud break covering most of NITED. The few examples known in this die state are all low grade, the best only VG7. DWH #2548.
