Frosty light golden olive with traces of reddish toning in some of the protected areas, especially on the obverse. Mostly smooth and the eye appeal is nice, but a glass reveals extremely faint granularity on the upper part of the reverse, most evident over ON. Otherwise the only notable mark is a small diagonal nick on the lower part of the cap. Traces of very shallow lacquer or some other coating are evident in protected areas on the obverse. E-MDS, Breen state II. The die crack at TY is clear but there is no clashmark from the nose under ER in AMERICA. The reverse of this cent is on the 1910 Elder-Gilbert plate (Thomas L. Elder auction of the 1794 cents of Ebenezer Gilbert, 10/12/1910, as 51-52) , the reverse is plated in the 1979 Morley grading guide for 1794 cents, and this 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 #32695. Bland says AU50 and tied for CC#4. Removed from a PCGS holder graded MS62BN (PCGS label 1365.62/06996681 included).
