Very attractive lustrous steel brown with lighter brown toning on the reverse and traces of mellowed mint red remaining on both sides. Sharply struck EDS with smooth, reflective fields, especially on the obverse. The obverse was struck with the normal N-7 die but the die apparently twisted upon impact (perhaps it was loose in the press) causing the date and stars to become distorted. The date digits are very thin and the points of the stars are bent, especially the outer points which are bent in a counterclockwise direction. The twisting also affected the dentils leaving them thinner than normal; otherwise the dentils are sharp. This is an odd-looking cent, most likely one of the first few struck before the die was properly seated. Our grade is MS60+. One of only 4 known to us with the thin date, and the other 3 are in low grade. Comes with a great provenance. The attribution is noted on the PCGS label.
