Medium brown with mostly smooth surfaces, just a little bit of scattered trivial granularity and a hint of verdigris in the wreath around US. The all-seeing eye is pretty flat, typical of the variety. A couple little rim nicks and abrasions are noted below NOVA. This is one of the varieties that tends to give fits to collectors who seek only high grade coins. <p>PCGS# 45408.From the Sydney F. Martin Collection.
