Despite mint luster that suggests a higher grade, slight wear is augmented by a few bolder circulation scratches on the horizontal shield lines that are accounted for in the final net grade. An inconsistent die crack across the upper left obverse quadrant develops later into a shattered die, but at this point, the die was still strong enough to deliver fine detail at the time of striking. Plentiful luster and very good eye appeal for this conservative grade.
