CAC.Lustrous tan and light steel brown faded down from original mint color with slightly darker steel brown toning on the highest points of the design. No spots or stains, and the only notable marks are a couple microscopic planchet flakes near the dentils left of the lower curls, as struck, a tiny nick in the field right of these flakes, and a faint horizontal hairline of darker steel toning from the ear to the upper lip. Satiny mint luster covers everything but the very highest points of the design on both sides. Terminal die state, Breen state III, with a strong cud break at RICA plus another small but strong one over the left top of the N in UNITED. In addition, there is a clear, continuous double profile from the forehead down to the chin (machine doubling from die bounce or shift).
