Very attractive glossy medium brown with slightly lighter steel brown toning on the highpoints. Smooth and well struck with just a few contact marks. The notable marks are a light rim bruise left of the lower curls, a smaller rim bruise over the M in AMERICA, and an old hairline scratch in the field before the mouth. Otherwise this cent is choice and close to a higher grade. E-MDS, Breen state II. There is a radial die crack through the D in UNITED but the reverse is not buckled and the thin cud inside the D has not formed. The Missing Fraction Bar feature is obvious (which is not always evident due to the relatively delicate die features in that area). Graded VF35 net VF30 and tied for CC#10 in the Noyes census, his photo #36279. Graded net VF35 by Loring and Borckardt. Bland says EF40 net VF35 and tied for CC#11 in his census. A very nice example of this popular "Redbook" variety.
