Good. (6.1). Dull all over. Very hard to see 12 x 10 mm bruise to the left shoulder just behind the seam line. 3 x 2 mm popped out bruise just in front of this. A couple of small imperfections from making in this area too. Front shoulder has a pair of very fine fractures of 4-5 mm each. A bit higher up the back shoulder is a similar mark but about 7 mm. Smile shaped 8 x 5 mm bruise to the lower part of the back top. Front right base edge has a fine 22 mm fracture coming up to just below the shield. At the top of this fracture are two bruises of about 5 x 5 mm each. Great embossing. Not a bad example despite the marks, would need careful cleaning though. Estimate: $50-100
