Otherwise just trivial contact marks and a small spot of darker chocolate toning just left of the mouth. Intermediate die state, Breen II, with a diagonal crack through the center of the reverse and a hint of swelling in that area indicating the die was failing. Graded AU55 and tied for CC#3 in the Noyes census, his photo #68583. This cataloger's EAC grade is AU58. The attribution and Husak Collection provenance are noted on the PCGS Gold Shield label.
