Choice VF with surprisingly strong eye appeal for the grade, showing solid paper body and crisp, inky impressions. The black detail is sharp, the red overprints pop, and the penned signatures remain bold. Margins are well balanced and ample, giving the face a pleasing frame, while the reverse retains deep, even green with excellent vignette detail. Light, even circulation is evident without distracting soiling. PMG notes closed pinholes on the holder, but they do not impair the presentation of this example.
