Glossy medium brown delicately woodgrained with darker chocolate and steel brown on the obverse. Frosty mint luster shows through in protected areas and the reverse fields are slightly reflective. Great eye appeal, just a touch of rub on the highest points from mint state. The only identifying mark is a small patch of microscopic planchet roughness between the U in UNITED and the adjacent ribbon end. LDS, Breen state V, with a fine bisecting die crack across the horizontal obverse bulge. Called MS60 and CC#1 by a whopping 25 points in the Noyes census, his photo #21047. Bland says AU55 and CC#1 by a still-significant 15 point margin. Our grade is AU55. This cent is plated in the Noyes and Breen references to illustrate the variety, and "HD" on the edge lettering is filled with yellow ink to indicate this cent was once part of the Homer K. Downing Collection. Another superior cent that comes with an equally superior provenance. Removed from a PCGS slab graded AU58 (PCGS label #35687.58/13470597 included, and it shows the attribution and Husak provenance). The attribution and Mervis provenance are noted on the NGC label.
Certificate #2038647-004
