A little soft in some peripheral areas, which allowed a tiny flaw at the cinquefoil after the date to surviving the striking process. Very sharp at centers despite two sets of visible clash marks. A very nice high grade type coin of this oft-seen variety.From the Archangel Collection. Earlier, from Pine Tree’s sale of the Elizabeth Morton Collection, October 1975, lot 667.
