    Description

    Glossy chocolate and olive brown with darker steel overtones. No roughness or verdigris. A collection of tiny marks at the Y in LIBERTY and a small, dull nick just left of the denominator are the best identifying marks. Struck three times in the collar with a very small offset between impressions, perhaps a half millimeter at most. Double and triple outlines are strongest on the reverse, but the bottom edge of the bust displays fine triple outlines as well. EDS, Manley state 1.0. The "Spiked Chin" is obvious.
