Nicely struck E-MDS, die state a. The repunching at the left top of the 0 in the date is clear. Our grade is MS62, tied for CC#8 in the Grellman census. Comes with a nice provenance. The attribution and Twin Leaf provenance are noted on the PCGS label. PCGS population 3; 1 in 65 at PCGS. Estimate Value $800 - UP
