Frosty steel brown with lots of golden tan faded down from mint color in protected areas. Looks mint state but there is a touch of rub on the highest points of the devices. The underlying mint luster is a bit subdued by a thin layer of natural oxidation (typical of so many of the early coppers that came out of the Newman collection). The only marks are a couple dull ticks on the front edge of the neck and some very faint hairlines at the dentils tips from star 4 to star 7. MDS. The fields are lightly flowlined and there is crumbling in the upper left notch of the N in ONE. The overdate feature is clearly visible inside the top of the 6. Crossed from an NGC slab graded MS64 Brown (NGC label #2046425-033 included, and it shows the attribution and Eric P. Newman Collection provenance). Our grade is AU50. The attribution is noted on the PCGS label. Only 1 graded finer at PCGS.
