Lustrous medium brown and light chocolate with a hint of light bluish steel overtone on the reverse. The surfaces are satiny and this cent has excellent eye appeal. The only marks are a small spot of reddish chocolate toning on the nostril and a tiny speck of planchet slag in the field near the dentil right of star 8, as struck. Sharply struck EDS with tiny lumps of fine die rust in the obverse fields, including a collection of these tiny lumps right of star 4, and those fields are slightly reflective thanks to a die lapping used to minimize the rust. The fields are just starting to show microscopic radial flowlines near the dentil tips but the dies remain uncracked and void of rim cuds. The repunching on the first A in AMERICA is obvious. Our grade is MS60. The attribution and Dan Holmes provenance are noted on the PCGS label.
