Lustrous medium brown and light chocolate with peeps of faded mint red showing in protected areas on both sides. The surfaces are satiny, especially on the reverse, and this cent has outstanding eye appeal. The only marks are a tiny scratch well hidden in the hair left of the temple, a small horizontal planchet chip high on the cheek, and some microscopic planchet chips around the bust tip and near the dentils on the right side of the obverse (as struck). The die chips are a result of the dies being slightly out of proper axial alignment (the die faces were not perfectly parallel) causing the strike to be stronger on the left, weaker on the right. This feature is common for the variety. Breen state II with die clashmarks on both sides but no die crack on the reverse. Graded MS60 and CC#1 in the Bland census list. Noyes says MS62 Choice and finest by 7 points, his photo #20472. Ted Naftzger graded this cent MS65. Our grade is MS60+. A superior example of the variety, the only mint state example by strict EAC grading standards. And it comes with a century-long provenance that includes some of the most-celebrated collectors of early cents.
