Frosty light olive brown and chocolate with slightly lighter brown toning on the devices. Sharply detailed with excellent eye appeal, and the only marks are some of the usual tiny planchet imperfections scattered over both sides. The notable planchet marks are a couple small chips at IT in UNITED and a thin void through the left foot of the first A in AMERICA, as struck. MDS, Breen state III, with obvious die clashmarks and fine die cracks. A small puff of extremely faint carbon in the field under the chin is the only defect that might catch your eye. This is the plate coin for the variety in Early American Cents, Penny Whimsy, and the Breen encyclopedia on the early large cents. Called MS60 and CC#2 in the Bland census. Noyes says MS60 net AU50 and tied for CC#2 honors, his photo #36357. This cent was once included on the list of pieces removed from the Clapp-ANS collection, but it was subsequently removed from that list (see the Winter 1999 ANS Newsletter, page 12, showing this S-61 was removed from the list of cents in dispute).
