Frosty light brown and tan with darker steel brown toning on the highpoints and generous traces of mint red showing on the reverse. Satiny mint luster covers the fields, particularly on the reverse, and this cent has very nice eye appeal. Looks mint state but there is a hint of rub on the highest points of the portrait and wreath. Just a few trivial marks, mostly in the field before the portrait. A thin vertical nick right of star 4 is the only notable defect. E-MDS with die cracks on the obverse, but there is no crack from the outer point of star 5 to the dentils. Our grade is AU55+, very close to AU58. Comes with a nice provenance. The attribution and COL Ellsworth Collection provenance are noted on the PCGS Gold Shield label.
