Sharpness near VF35 but there is an "+" scratched inside the wreath crossing at the top of the E in CENT. Otherwise this cent is quite nice with smooth surfaces and only light contact marks. Glossy medium steel brown and light chocolate. LDS, Breen state II, with vertical die lines down through IBE in LIBERTY. A very important example of this tough variety in spite of the scratch. Graded EF40 net VF20 and tied for CC#5 in the Noyes census, his photo #28509. Comes with a nice provenance.
