Frosty medium brown and light chocolate. A very sharp cent with excellent eye appeal, but held back from a higher grade by three small puffs of reddish brown toning: one on the throat, another right of the E in ONE, and a slightly larger one around the fraction extending close to the second A in AMERICA. These reddish areas do not show any roughness or verdigris. Otherwise the only notable defect is a weak dentil over the left side of the L in LIBERTY. MDS, Breen state III early. There are strong clashmarks and some die cracks on the obverse but no trace of clashmarks on the reverse. This cent is plated in the 1923 Chapman reference on the cents of 1794 and it is the plate coin for the variety in the 2000 Breen encyclopedia. Graded AU55 net EF45 and tied for CC#3 in the Noyes census, his photo #39000. Bland says AU55 and tied for CC#2. Comes with a great provenance reaching back well over a century.
