Frosty olive brown and dark steel with lighter brown in some of the protected areas. A sharp example with just a touch of wear in the highpoints. The notable marks are a very fine scratch left of the date and another high on the neck. There are a few tiny specks of verdigris visible under strong magnification. LDS, Breen state II, with traces of very fine die rust on the obverse. This is the Breen plate coin for his die state II (see page 162 in his 1983 half cent encyclopedia). Our grade is EF45. (The slab is scuffed)
