This was covered in 'grunge' when purchased, which I removed with a coin-safe method. The small 'bright' areas atop two of the Obverse stars are where a clump of material on the coin covered the surface and prevented toning over the years - that and the light stain on the second star left of the date are the only real distractions. Some minor Reverse marks, the most obvious at the second 'A' of 'AMERICA', however no significant defects and otherwise without the normal digs, dents, old corrosion, pits, planchet problems, etc. commonly found on these. I think an attractive coin despite the extremely minor issues, with original brown surfaces and obvious luster around the rims - certainly still suitable as a high grade type example.  0501-02
