Frosty light to medium brown. There is a faint puff of slightly darker toning between stars 3 & 4 and that area shows extremely fine roughness under strong magnification. There are some tiny specks of greenish verdigris tucked into very protected areas on both sides including inside the top of the N in CENT (possibly removable). A tiny nick on the front edge of the neck may help identify this cent. Rare LDS with a large 3-point cud break at star 13 (called N-12/2). Second finest of this rare die state behind the Naftzger coin (McCawley & Grellman Auctions/Goldberg 2/1/2009:268). There is a fine double profile on the front edge of the coronet, lower half of the nose, the lips and chin, and on the neck. Additional doubling shows on the cud and star 12. A great cent for the die state specialist. Our grade is AU50+, close to AU55.
