This Second Restrike displays crisp devices rising from attractive rose, violet, and gold fields. The obverse displays above average reflectivity, while the reverse shows shallow mirrors that retain a measure of satiny luster. Some parallel planchet striations are seen on the reverse, and a little vertical lintmark is noted on Libertys bust truncation, but post-striking issues are few. A little speck beneath 18 of the date and two in the obverse field below the bun are the only flaws worthy of note.The obverse is aligned measurably to 8:00, showing a rounded rim and soft detail outside the denticles in the lower left but a high wire rim or "fin" on the opposite side of the obverse, extending from 11:00 to 5:00. In that soft area, some of the unstruck texture of the planchet is apparent, as it is at the extreme reverse periphery around 9:00. As noted in the Missouri Cabinet catalog, the series of Second Restrikes "are not examples of our Mints best work."
