Very attractive glossy medium chocolate brown and steel with frosty lighter brown in protected areas. The surfaces are smooth and show only minor contact marks including a light curved scratch on the jawline and a collection of very tiny ticks over the N in CENT. M-LDS with numerous die cracks on the obverse. Graded VF35 and tied for CC#5 in the Noyes census, his photo #28293. Our grade is VF35. A very nice example of this tough die variety; the finest known grades EF45 by EAC grading standards. This is the plate coin for the variety in the Wright book on the cents of 1816-1839 and it comes with a long, distinguished provenance. The attribution and COL Ellsworth Collection provenance are noted on the PCGS Gold Shield label.
