Overton-104, looks to be a very early die state - the defect lines below Liberty's bust point are very sharp, and you can make out three rather than the two mentioned in Overton. Better than an average AU-50, equivalent to what I typically see in AU-53 to 55 holders. Interesting color, blue-grey with reddish tones mixed in. Difficult to be 100% sure that this is natural toning (i. e. not artificial), however I do not see any signs of problems that would require being covered up, such as obvious signs of cleaning. As this was recovered out of Europe, this would suggest the color is real. A nice alternative as a Type example which appears original, or at least has not been abusively cleaned.
