"VF-30".  Ex - Metropolitan New York Numismatic Convention Sale (Stack's, 5/1956), lot 1867 - Heritage Numismatic Auctions, Inc.'s "2000 Santa Clara" Sale, November 16-17, 2000, part of Lot 5016, where it was described as follows: "Breen-1318, Newman-4e, R.3. 8.68 grams. A pleasing light brown specimen of this scarce variety that is relatively problem-free for the grade. The surfaces are smooth and free of any major abrasions, and the few minor planchet flaws that are present are not readily noticeable and are smaller than those that are often seen. This variety is most often seen in low grades, and a nice Choice VF example is a rare treat for us to catalog."
