There are a few small spots of raised verdigris, none distracting, and the only contact mark is a thin nick on the rim right of the fraction. M-LDS, Breen state V, with two die cracks from UNITED to the fraction. The date is strong and all 3 of the die-cutter errors on the reverse are clear (although the 000 denominator is weakened a bit by die failure in that area). $350
