There are traces of very shallow reddish verdigris crusted into protected areas and some light contact marks, including a nick in the hair left of the ear and a rim nick over the first T in STATES. Slightly glossy dark olive and steel. The date is bold and the overdate is obvious. The legends are complete and strong.
