At least ten points sharper with traces of extremely faint roughness on both sides, none visible without a good glass. No notable signs of verdigris and only a few light contact marks, but the color is a bit blotchy. Glossy chocolate brown tones ranging from light to very dark. There are some faint abrasions hidden in the toning off the bust tip and left of the lowest curl, plus a half dozen tiny pinpricks in the leaves under the second A in AMERICA. Nicely struck LDS, Breen state VII. The cud and die cracks are all strong. Called EF40 and tied for CC#9 in the Bland census. Noyes says EF45 net VF30 and tied for CC#9, his photo #21055. A sharp, reasonably attractive cent in spite of the minor imperfections.
