Highly glossy chocolate and steel brown with frosty lighter brown toning in protected areas. The surfaces are coated with a very thin layer of wax or lacquer to protect them, most likely done by Dr. Sheldon, the so-called “Sheldonizing” effect. Very attractive and nearly flawless. The only marks worthy of mention are a diagonal nick on the neck and a tiny vertical pinscratch on the leaves under the T in CENT. MDS, Breen state III. The lower part of the first 0 in the denominator is filled and a new crack connects the second 0 to the right end of the fraction bar. Both sides are plated to illustrate the die variety in Early American Cents and Penny Whimsy. Called VF30 and tied for CC#5 in the Bland census. Noyes says VF30 net VF25 and tied for CC#8, photo #34870. A very attractive cent that comes with a great provenance.
