Sharpness close to mint state but there is an area of microscopic roughness very well hidden at the ear lobe. Otherwise the surfaces are satiny and nearly free of defects. Frosty light to medium brown and olive. The eye appeal of the cent is excellent. The only marks are a thin nick at the upper edge of the lower curls and a tiny planchet flake in the center of the cheek. MDS, Breen state III, with dull die clashmarks on both sides and a crack through the top of AME. Removed from an NGC slab graded AU58 (NGC label included, and it shows the attribution and Mervis provenance).
