Frosty steel brown and olive with traces of underlying very faded mint red showing on the reverse. The surfaces are lustrous and this cent has great eye appeal. The only marks are a thin streak of slightly lighter toning in the planchet (not a contact mark) from the dentils before the mouth to the left top of the 7 in the date and a small splash of slightly darker toning nestled between the cap and the dentils to the left. The reverse is flawless. Sharply struck MDS, Breen state III, with clear die clashmarks and fine die cracks on the obverse. Graded MS60 "Superb" by Bland and CC#3 behind the two Oswald coins. Noyes says MS60 and CC#3 as well, his photo #22884. Our grade is MS60+. A beautiful example of the Head of 1795 type. This cent comes with an unbroken provenance that has been traced back over 100 years, and that provenance includes some of the brightest luminaries among early cent collectors.
