Well struck with strong luster under moderate gray toning on the obverse and a mostly white reverse.

Well detailed with a well defined head, stars, and wreath. The surfaces are lustrous and mostly white with light toning mainly at the borders.

Overdate, FS-301. Well struck and nearly mint state with attractive green, gold, and blue toning.
