Lustrous medium brown and light chocolate with slightly darker steel brown toning on the highest points of the portrait. Satiny mint frost covers the fields and protected areas. No spots or stains. The only marks are a few short hairline scratches in the field close to the brow lock, a disjointed scratch left of star 13, a dull nick in the center of the eyebrow, and a couple barely visible hairlines at RIC. None of these marks is visible to the unaided eye and the eye appeal of this cent is quite nice. EDS. The obverse fields are smooth thanks to a fresh die lapping following its use during the earlier N-6 marriage. Called MS60 and CC#1 in the Bland census. Noyes says MS60 and CC#3, his photo #21303. Our grade is MS60. A wonderful example of this tough "Redbook" variety, clearly among the finest known. The attribution and COL Ellsworth Collection provenance are noted on the PCGS Gold Shield label.
