Lustrous mint red mellowing to light steel brown on the devices, more than half of the planchet showing mint color. A fabulous cent, the finest 1820/19 overdate of any die variety we have seen. The only marks, and they are barely visible, are a pair of tiny ticks on the chin and a shallow flake or tick below the right corner of the eye. E-MDS. The undertype 19 is visible under both the 2 and 0, strongest under the 2 but still clearly visible inside the 0. A wonderful piece with "wow" eye appeal. A superb cent worthy of the very finest collection. Graded MS65 Choice and tied for finest known in the Noyes census, his photo #36408. Not seen by Bland. Our grade is MS65+. The attribution and COL Ellsworth Collection provenance are noted on the PCGS Gold Shield label.

Certificate #36686.66/37128540
