Slightly faded mint red remains visible on 10% of the obverse, 20% of the reverse. Just a few trivial identifying marks, including a speck of dark olive toning at the dentils right of star 11 and another at the upper point of star 5. Nicely struck with full radial lines in all the stars. LDS, die state d, with a small but strong rim cud break nestled between the two die cracks on the rim over the R in AMERICA. The die crack through the top of ME is strong and the section outlined by this crack is shifted outward. In spite of numerous die cracks and the small cud, the fields on the reverse still display the die finishing lines at nearly the same strength as in the early die state.
