### Obverse (front)
**Wear and Detail Integrity:**
Moderate wear is evident across the major devices. The high points of the central motif show significant flattening, though secondary details in the hair and legends remain clearly defined.
**Luster and Eye Appeal:**
Original mint luster is completely absent, replaced by a consistent circulated patina. The eye appeal is average for a mid-grade specimen.
**Surface Condition:**
The fields display scattered contact marks and minor abrasions consistent with a coin that has seen moderate circulation.
### Reverse (back)
**Wear and Detail Integrity:**
Wear is most prominent on the breast and wing tips of the central motif. The peripheral legends and wreath details are well-preserved with clear outlines.
**Luster and Eye Appeal:**
The surfaces are dull with a greyish-tan tone. No traces of original luster remain in the protected areas.
**Surface Condition:**
The rims are intact, though the fields show signs of handling and various small nicks that do not detract from the overall grade.
### Grading Analysis Results
