A sharp cent with great eye appeal. Close to mint state but there is a bit of friction on the devices. Frosty light brown with steel brown toning on the highpoints and some slightly darker steel brown toning at the top of the 27 and on the bottom of the neck. There are faint hints of underlying very faded mint color peeking through in a couple of the protected areas. The notable marks are a faint hairline scratch from the field left of the date curving up through the bust tip and neck to the curl before the ear plus a shorter one along the jawline. EDS. The obverse fields are slightly reflective thanks to a fresh die polishing and the reverse is rotated 10 degrees CW. This is the Wright plate coin for the variety (the curved hairline scratch from the bust tip described above is mistakenly reported as a die crack in the "Striking Variations" paragraph for the variety in John's book). This cent has outstanding eye appeal in spite of the light contact marks. Called EF45 and CC#2 behind a marginally superior example in the Bland census with the next best grading only VF30. Noyes says EF45 net EF40 and tied for CC#2, his photo #25320. Our grade is EF45. The attribution and Holmes-Ahumada provenance are noted on the PCGS label.
