Mostly glossy olive and steel brown with a hint of reddish brown under the ribbon knot. EDS, Breen state I, before the strong clashmarks at the date. Noyes graded VG10 net VG8 and tied for CC#16 but second finest of the early die state, his photo #25982. Comes with a nice provenance.Certificate Number: Pedigree: Ex Homer K.
