of Mint State-62 but with a few abrasions visible only under a glass. A
small nick on the neck and raised corrosion within E in CENT. Mint red and
brown. Probably from the Randall hoard. We also note a minor spot on
Liberty's nose, and a cluster of tiny tick marks at the central reverse,
and another small group below the ribbon on the reverse. Lovely color and
apparently original."
