Date: 1793Partly glossy dark steel and olive brown. Very fine roughness covers the fields and protected areas but the highpoints are smooth. No verdigris, just a few marks. The notable marks are a fine diagonal scratch through the leaf sprig over the date and three minor planchet fissures (as struck) at D-STATES. The date and legends are complete and easily readable, although the bottoms of the 9 & 3 are starting to fade into the rim. Very rare LDS, Breen state III, with a rim cud break connecting ER in LIBERTY to the rim above. The cud is clearly defined in spite of the low grade. There are only a few known in this latest die state. The finest is mint state and appeared as obverse 4 on Levick's plate. That cent is impounded in the ANS Collection. There is also a crescent-shaped lump in the field behind the head (created by a chip out of the die), a feature not mentioned in Walter Breen's comprehensive reference on the cents of 1793-1814. A neat die state, and quite rare as such. Our grade is net G5. The attribution and Neiswinter provenance are noted on the PCGS label.
