NGC AU-58 (illustrated above).  Superior 09/2004:8, "Frosty chocolate brown with traces of mint luster in protected areas. No corrosion or contact marks, just a bit of very light friction on the highpoints from mint state. The only flaw is a fine planchet fissure along the left edge of the L in LIB to near the elbow. The date and legends are clear. An outstanding example of this scarce variety, superior to the Taylor and Perkins examples."
