Overall golden brown with traces of darker patina in the protected areas. The surfaces are hard and tight under inspection, with just a small planchet flaw showing at 11 oclock on the reverse. This flaw causes the B of BUSINESS to be soft, though the devices are otherwise nicely defined for the variety. Well centered and featuring dramatic clashmarks throughout the reverse rings.From the Cohasco Collection of Colonials formed by Sir Philip H. Snyder, circa 1963-68.
