Its historical important is immense, and survivors are desirable regardless of condition. The reverse is fairly sharp, with all letters clear to bold. The obverse shows greater wear, but all four date digits are distinct, as is Liberty's profile and much of LIBERTY. The dark brown surfaces are lightly granular and likely burnished. Large obverse initials AK are faintly pinscratched. Our EAC grade Good 4.
