1816 N-5 R1 MS60

Lustrous dark bluish steel and olive brown, the reverse a few shades lighter than the obverse. The surfaces are satiny and this cent offers excellent eye appeal. The best identifying marks are a barely visible planchet flake under the right foot of the first 1 in the date and a thin nick off the lower left point of star 7. M-LDS. The dentils are weakening as the stars and reverse legend begin to draw to the rim. The repunching under the left foot of the N in CENT is weak but remains visible and the center dot on the reverse is now shaped like an open clamshell. The ear and portions of the hair along the back of the head show clear doubling from die bounce. Called MS60 net AU55 and tied for CC#9 in the Noyes census, his photo #21334.
