Beautiful frosty light olive and medium brown blending to reddish light chocolate in protected areas. A very sharp cent with crisp design details throughout including veins in many of the leaves. Just a few trivial marks including a short, microscopic hairline under the Y in LIBERTY, another in the field at the throat, a tiny planchet flake on the forehead, and a microscopic pinprick in the middle of the cap. EDS, Breen state I, with sharp die clashmarks on the reverse and a clear line from the dentils right of the second S in STATES. A very attractive cent with just a trace of friction on the highest points of the devices. Graded AU55 and tied for CC#5 in the Bland census. Noyes says AU55 net AU50 and tied for CC#7, his photo #23979. Comes with an impressive provenance that has been traced back nearly 150 years.
