Glossy steel and medium brown with darker olive brown covering the right side of the obverse and frosty lighter steel brown in protected areas. Mint luster covers the fields and protected areas on both sides and this cent has excellent eye appeal. Just a few trivial contact marks including a dull, light nick on the chin and another in the field below, plus a fine vertical hairline over star 13. EDS. The obverse fields are hard and slightly reflective, and a die line connects the bases of the T & E in STATES. A variety that's difficult to find in high grade, this one solidly in the condition census. Called EF45 and CC#3 among the confirmed examples in the Bland census. Noyes says AU50 net EF40 and tied for CC#6 in his census, photo #36032. Our grade is EF45. Comes with a nice provenance. The attribution and COL Ellsworth Collection provenance are noted on the PCGS Gold Shield label.

Certificate #36640.58+/39276157
