### Obverse (front) **Wear and Detail Integrity:** Moderate wear is evident across the major devices, with smoothing on the high points of the central motif. Legends remain clear and legible, though some fine interior lines have merged. **Luster and Eye Appeal:** The original mint luster has been replaced by a deep brown patina. Eye appeal is average for a circulated specimen, showing consistent tonal depth. **Surface Condition:** The fields show scattered small contact marks and minor abrasions consistent with circulation. The rims remain mostly intact with slight softening. ### Reverse (back) **Wear and Detail Integrity:** Central devices exhibit noticeable wear, particularly on the highest relief elements. Decorative scrolls and peripheral legends remain well-defined, though the finer details within the motifs are obscured. **Luster and Eye Appeal:** Luster is absent, replaced by a stable, aged surface. The overall appearance is balanced and typical for the grade. **Surface Condition:** Moderate handling marks are visible in the fields. Some dark environmental spotting is present near the lower denticles, but no major structural damage is noted. ### Grading Analysis Results **Grade: VF-20 (Very Fine 20)** This specimen displays moderate, even wear on all high points. Major design elements are clear and distinct despite the loss of finer details.
