The obverse is a few points sharper, the reverse weaker. Glossy light olive and steel with reddish chocolate in protected areas on the obverse. Later die state with swelling that weakens the 17 but the date remains easily readable. Minor marks including a rim bruise at the L. What makes this one special is that it was struck on a thick, unlettered planchet. The rare appearance of an unlettered S-74 is mentioned in the Noyes reference on the cents of 1793-1814. Weight 198.9 grains.
