Choice glossy light brown with slightly darker steel brown toning on the highpoints. Mint frost shows in the protected areas, especially on the reverse, and the eye appeal of this cent is outstanding. The only marks are some microscopic ticks on the front edge of the nose and a spot of darker toning under the wreath ribbon. E-MDS. The fields on the obverse are smooth, void of any trace of flowlines. This is the plate coin for the variety in the 1940 Newcomb reference on the cents of 1816-1857. Graded EF40 and tied for CC#3 in the Noyes census, his photo #25639. Our grade is EF40 Choice. One of the two finer pieces is in the ANS Collection. Comes with an important provenance. The attribution and COL Ellsworth Collection provenance are noted on the PCGS Gold Shield label.
