Frosty light brown and tan with darker steel brown on the highpoints. The fields are satiny and this cent has very nice eye appeal. Just a few minor marks including some darker toning at the dentils under star 1, a small puff of similar toning over star 3, and a few tiny ticks in the field under the chin. MDS with clearly defined die cracks on the reverse but no cud. Graded AU55 net AU50 and tied for CC#7 in the Noyes census, his photo #28522. Graded AU55 by Del Bland. Our grade is AU50. This is the plate coin for the variety in the 1992 John Wright reference on the cents of 1816-1839. The attribution and COL Ellsworth Collection provenance are noted on the PCGS Gold Shield label.
