    Description

    Rather glossy chocolate brown with darker steel and olive toning in protected areas.
    The surfaces are uneven with small patches of shallow roughness on both sides. No verdigris or notable contact marks.  Double struck. One impression was about 45% off center to K-7 and the other was centered on the planchet. LIBE from the off-center strike shows at the bottom of the cap and UN is clearly visible at the upper left of the reverse. The date from the centered strike remains easily readable. Weight 87.1 grains.
