45.0 mm. 755.6 grains. Deep mahogany bronze with the central reverse field a bit more reddish tan which nicely accentuates the legend. Glossy surfaces with subtle reflectivityin the fields. A trace of very light apparent oxidation is noted on the upper obverse. Double struck on the reverse with more than the usual rotation between strikes evident uponclose study.
