Glossy medium brown blending to olive brown and chocolate in protected areas. The surfaces are smooth and this cent has excellent eye appeal. The only marks are some nicks on the portrait including a vertical one left of the brow, a tiny one right of the earlobe, a few light ones in the center of the neck, and a minor rim bruise at the first S in STATES. M-LDS, Breen state III early. The radial die crack just left of the first A in AMERICA is strong and a very faint crack shows through the tops of NITE. Struck with the reverse rotated 45 degrees clockwise (relative to the normal head-to-foot die orientation). Graded VF25 net F15 and tied for CC#11 in the Noyes census, his photo #31003. Bland says VF20 and tied for CC#9. A wholly acceptable example of a variety that is very difficult to find in high grade. Only one example is known grading better than VF30, and it resides in the ANS Collection.
