There is a puff of dark olive brown toning at the end of the curls below the cap, a small scratch hidden in the dentils below the 5, and a couple tiny marks at TY in LIBERTY. The date and devices are sharply struck but there is weakness in some of the dentils on both sides. EDS, Manley state 1.0, Fuhrman state 1, with no hint of swelling right of the Y. Struck over a cut-down Talbot Allum & Lee (TAL) Cent. Much of “CENT” from the TAL undertype is clearly visible below the date.
