Otherwise the surfaces are smooth, completely free of corrosion or planchet flaws. Glossy medium brown and chocolate sprinkled with darker olive brown toning on the obverse. E-MDS, Breen state II late. The reverse fields are slightly reflective, and there is a faint arcing die crack from the rim through the D in UNITED fading out as it extends to the dentils at ES.
