Frosty chocolate brown with lighter brown and tan in protected areas, especially on the reverse. A small spot of fine carbon is nestled in the hair above the ear and a tiny rim nick affects the dentils left of the date. Otherwise this half cent is choice and the eye appeal is very nice. Sharply struck EDS, Manley state 1.0 early. The reverse die clashmarks of the earlier 25C1 die marriage are present, including the “egg” lump between the F and A (Manley says these were lapped off the die before this marriage, but a few early examples showing the clashmarks have come to light since his 1998 reference was published). Undoubtedly a rare die state.
