Highly lustrous light brown with overtones of light bluish steel and hints of underlying very faded mint color peeking through in a few places. Although this cent is sharp and lustrous, the eye appeal is affected by a few small puffs of slightly lighter toning, including a couple at the bottom of the portrait and a half dozen scattered over the reverse. A spot at the right foot of the T in CENT was carefully abraded away leaving lighter coppery toning at that spot. Otherwise the only notable mark is a fine vertical hairline scratch down from the ear lobe. Sharply struck M-LDS. The dash in the field left of the first A in AMERICA is dull but visible and the center dot on the reverse is gone. The hair details below the L in LIBERTY are very sharp. Called MS63 and tied for CC#1 in the Noyes census, his photo #28691. Bland says MS60+ and tied for CC#3. Our grade is MS62+. A very impressive cent in spite of the minor defects, and it comes with a great provenance. The attribution and COL Ellsworth Collection provenance are noted on the PCGS Gold Shield label.
