Natural light gray patina, imbued with hints of lilac, takes on slightly deeper hues at the margins of this Fine 12 example. The design elements exhibit nice definition for the grade, including some detail in Liberty's middle and lower hair. About three quarters of the dentilation shows on the reverse, and that on the obverse is strong, as always seen on this type. There are no adjustment marks or significant contacts. Overall, a pleasing example for a moderately circulated coin.
