Lustrous medium brown and light chocolate. A sharp cent that has great eye appeal, but it was unevenly struck, as usual with this variety. The die faces were not parallel (Breen calls this axial misalignment) pressing the planchet more strongly on the left side then on the right. The result is a very strong strike on the left and in the centers but with weakness along the right edge of both sides. Perhaps that's why the reverse die cracked so early in the marriage. The weakly struck areas display many of the tiny planchet imperfections that normally strike out. These minor planchet imperfections are evident along the right edge on all the high grade examples listed in the Noyes census. Otherwise this piece is free of marks or other notable defects. M-LDS, Breen state IV. The cud break at LI in LIBERTY is clear and the crack from the rim through the first S in STATES extends heavily through the wreath toward the O in ONE. Called MS63 Choice and CC#2 in the Noyes census, his photo #22633. Bland says MS60 and CC#2 behind a slightly finer example on his census list. Our grade is MS60. The attribution and Gerrie provenance are noted on the PCGS label.
