The surfaces of such a die are very rough, so they usually are extensively polished to remove the "pimples." The recessed areas of the die, and the relief areas of any coin struck with the die, still have rustlike surfaces with tiny micro pimples.
Obverse die same as the Proof issues. Raised die rust pimple on bottom of bust over left side of 8. Reverse retains die finish lines. Short lapping lines from rim near left wing tip and under TEN D.
From Mid-American's sale of August 1991, Lot 755.
