Proof, Cleaned.A bit glossy in texture, yet retoned quite nicely with vivid undertones of gold, blue, pink and apricot. Softness of strike along the upper left reverse border prevents us from seeing how far the cud break that begins outside the letter A in AUG. extends, thereby making it impossible to determine whether this is Die State I or II.Collector tag with attribution notation included.
