Bath metal. 232.3 gns. Lovely, rich and deep chocolate brown with some golden overtones. Very sharply struck. Minor surface granularity and some light pitting. Described by Boyd as ''Fine sharp uncirculated impression''. One of the nicest ever seen. These are very tough to find in grades over Extremely Fine. Norweb's was Choice About Uncirculated and she had the pick of the best for nearly half a century. Roper's was About Uncirculated but corroded.

Ex Lorin G. Parmelee Collection (New York Coin & Stamp Company, June 25, 1890, lot 523); F.C.C. Boyd Estate.
