The obverse is lustrous light olive and steel brown with underlying mellowed mint red showing through in the fields and protected areas. The reverse is lustrous bright original mint red just starting to tone light steel brown on the highpoints with at least 85% of the original red remaining. This cent is choice, near gem, except for a spot of dark toning at the right bottom of the O in ONE. There is no trace of carbon or roughness at the spot, but your eye just can't avoid seeing it because of the stark contrast with the bright mint color. MDS. The fields are lightly flowlined, the repunching on the 8 is clear, and the stray 8 in the dentils below the 8 is weak but still visible. Sometimes called the "Horned 8" variety because the repunching at the top of the 8 looks like horns. A nice cent in spite of that darned spot. Our grade is net MS62. The attribution is noted on the PCGS Gold Shield label.
