Sharper than the grade assigned, probably fully EF by sharpness alone. Mottled brassy tan with some darker toning and areas of iridescence. Nicely centered, with denticles at right and base of obverse and around the entire reverse but for the lower left quadrant. Some trivial obverse fissures, but no substantial marks. A pleasant example of the variety. PCGS# 766262. From the Sydney F. Martin Collection. Earlier from France via American Heritage Minting (William Paul), December 1995.
