Extremely Fine to About Uncirculated. A superior specimen, actually the second nicest seen. 126.6 gns. Lighter olive brown in color than the preceding. The obverse and reverse surfaces are a trifle more granular, particularly in the centers and especially on the back. Apparently free from any clips, even the most unobtrusive, and quite unusual as such. Horizontal line across Liberty's figure in the center, probably a manufacturing defect rather than a subsequent accident to the coin.

Pedigree unrecorded.
