Lustrous light to medium brown with darker steel brown toning on the cheek. Peeps of faded mint red are visible on both sides, particularly on the reverse. A very attractive cent. The best identifying marks are a small spot of darker toning in the field near the head between stars 7 & 8, a similar spot in the field close under star 11, and a very thin horizontal nick in the center of the neck. MDS. The obverse is flowlined but uncracked while the reverse has a die crack that meanders from the leaf above the O in ONE through the N's in ONE CENT. Graded MS60 and tied for CC#4 in the Noyes census, his photo #23020. Bland says MS61 and CC#2 in his census. Our grade is MS60+. A beautiful cent that comes with a very nice provenance. The attribution and Naftzger-Ahumada provenance are noted on the PCGS label.
