No roughness or verdigris. LIB and the dentils above have been carefully reengraved, possibly to repair a rim dent. The other notable marks are a light rim bruise over the R in LIBERTY and a thin planchet fissure than meanders down the field before the portrait, as struck. The date is bold and the legends are strong. E-MDS, Breen state IV.
