MDS, Breen state III, Heck state 3, with a fine die crack from the B to the cap and fine die clashmarks on both sides. Our grade is AU50+, very close to AU55, and it comes with a superb provenance. 35528.62+/57538477 Ex Dr. Edward Maris-Edouard Frossard Collection, Frossard 10/2/1884:853 (as UNC)-T.
