Pale silver gray in color on both sides, the reverse with a little touch of light gold principally in the center. Tree sharper than on the preceding with partial root structures but almost full internal trunk detail showing. Peripheral legend around on this side complete if a little soft at the right and lower left. Full denomination and date, peripheral legend quite soft especially at the upper left. Well centered on both sides, the obverse just a little bit off to the bottom but leaving a broad border of extra metal behind at the top; reverse about perfectly centered. Reverse a little later state than seen on the preceding specimen, the die here broken from the tops of ND through the space between DA ending near the rim above A of ANDOM.

Ex Tom Elder's sale of October 11, 1924, lot 2062; F.C.C. Boyd Collection.
