Very attractive glossy light to medium chocolate brown. Sharply struck with smooth surfaces and excellent eye appeal. Close to VF25 but there is a rim bruise at the A in STATES. Otherwise this cent is choice. MDS, Breen state II, Heck state 3, with a clear die crack from the dentils at TY through the brow to the upper part of the cheek. There are fine die clashmarks visible on both sides but no die clashmark from the nose below ER in AMERICA. The repunching on the 17 is visible, although it is obscured a bit by dirt caked around the numerals. Removed from a PCGS slab graded VF30 (PCGS label #1365.30/5234905 included). Ex Herbert M. Oechsner, Stack's 9/8/1988:53-unknown-Chris McCawley-Chuck Heck Collection, McCawley & Grellman Auctions/Goldbergs 2/13/2017:333 (includes the Heck collection envelope and Goldberg lot ticket)
