Dark steel brown and chocolate with a few splashes of darker olive brown in protected areas. The surfaces are covered with fine to moderate roughness that weakens the date and parts of the legends, but the date remains readable. This cent is plated on page 118 in the Breen encyclopedia to show a possible terminal die state for the variety. The swelling in the center of the reverse is severe and there is an obvious cud-like area at the bottom of the reverse that sure has the look of a cud. But your cataloger believes this "cud" is a result of a planchet flaw. The rest of the reverse is covered with parallel striations consistent with a planchet delamination. That, combined with the low grade and corrosion, make die state certainty an elusive goal. Close inspection is recommended. The Heck Collection provenance is noted on the PCGS label.
