Sharper by at least 5 points but there is an old scrape on the rim over the E in LIBERTY. No roughness, verdigris, or other notable marks. Glossy medium chocolate brown. Probably retoned long ago but the color looks totally original and the eye appeal of this cent is excellent. M-LDS, Breen state V, with die cracks on both sides and obvious die clashmarks on the obverse. Graded VF20 and tied for CC#4 honors in the Bland census. Noyes says VF30 net VF20 and tied for CC#5, his photo # 27936. A very nice cent that comes with an equally nice provenance.
