CAC approved, and as crisp, crusty and magnificent as you are likely to find...well, at less than the MS63 level! I guess there's a touch of rub, but I think PCGS was playing it safe there. The coin is of outstanding quality and the eye appeal...wow. And, it's a very early die state. 13-106's tend to come from dies that were much less than crisp and sharp. Most of these don't have full dentils, like we see here. Most don't display sharp - razor sharp - hair curls, like we see here. Yes, there is unevenness to the strike - the bust tip and areas opposite that on the reverse - are softly defined. But that is simply evidence of the challenges faced by the early mint to produce truly well made coins. They tried hard, I fully believe, but they had real limitations.
