Gorgeous chocolate brown example of the Sheldon 226 variety. Later die state for the obverse, indicated by the rim cud below the date. Strong detail throughout the hair and the wreath on the reverse and no porosity or unsightly marks. About as choice as you can get for a commercial AU coin. Ex: Wes Rasmussen Collection, Heritage (1/05), lot 3271; 1999 EAC Sale (4/99), lot 257.
