Frosty medium chocolate brown and steel. Looks choice to the unaided eye but a glass reveals traces of microscopic roughness in some protected areas, mostly under star 13 and on the reverse. No verdigris and the only notable marks are a collection of microscopic pinpricks in the center of the nose. Extreme Rare EDS Breen Die State I, with clear repunching on the date, strongest at the left top of the 2. Struck with the reverse rotated 25 degrees clockwise. An attractive cent despite the minor issues. Our grade is VF25+. The attribution and Wells-Heard provenance are noted on the PCGS label. 36508.40/14007495 Ex; Delaware Valley rare Coins 2/14/2008 - March Wells, M&G Auctions/Goldbergs 2/1/2009:633 - Gene Heard Collection
