Ten points sharper but there is a reddish brown stain under RI in AMERICA, and the stained area shows microscopic corrosion and verdigris. A small spot is located under the E in UNITED but there is no significant roughness there. Otherwise the surfaces are smooth with just a touch of wear on the highpoints. A small nick in the hair below the B in LIBERTY is the only notable sign of contact. MDS, Breen state V, with die cracks and clashmarks. The obverse of this cent in plated in the 1925 Newcomb reference on the cents of 1801-1803 (Obverse 6d). Comes with a nice provenance.
