Frosty light chocolate brown. Satiny luster covers the fields and protected areas and this cent has excellent eye appeal. There is just a trace of friction on the highest points of the devices. Most of the planchet is satiny and smooth but there is a smattering of microscopic planchet chips along the bottom of the obverse and top of the reverse, all the result of improper axial alignment of the dies (the die faces were not perfectly parallel). The only other defects are a small patch of very fine reddish roughness over the D in UNITED, a thin nick over the N in ONE, and another below the T in CENT. The die chipping at the bottom of the obverse and top of the reverse is normal for this variety; all the finer examples show similar chipping to some degree, even the singular mint state example in both census lists. EDS, Breen state I, before any die clashmarks. Graded EF45 and CC#3 in the Noyes census, his photo #26797. Bland says AU50 and tied for CC#2. This is the only example of the variety found in the famous Oswald group of superior large cents that was spirited back to England as souvenirs centuries ago.
