Glossy medium brown and light olive. No spots or stains, only faint hairlines in the fields. LDS with small lumps from die rust and two strong die cracks on each side. These 1823 "Cents" were struck outside the mint using discarded mint dies sold as scrap. The obverse die used was the normal Newcomb-2 variety of 1823, but apparently a reverse die of the type used in 1823 was not available and they substituted a reverse die used for the 1813 Sheldon-293 variety. The result was an “1823 cent" that looked nothing like the genuine mint product. These are highly collectable today and are listed in the "Redbook." Our grade is MS60. The attribution and COL Ellsworth Collection provenance are noted on the PCGS label.
