A mint state cent with very sharp details and excellent eye appeal, but a glass reveals uniform extremely fine granularity under frosty dark olive brown and steel toning. Otherwise satiny and virtually flawless. A tiny flake on the right top of the C in CENT can help identify this cent, but you need a good glass to see it. This cent was not "Burnished" as claimed on the NGC label; perhaps they meant "Environmental Damage." MDS, Grellman state b, with a triangular lump at the dentils over star 9. The reverse is rotated 45 degrees clockwise relative to the normal head-to-foot die orientation. A double profile shows on the forehead, nose, lips, chin, ear, and RTY. Our grade is MS60 sharpness net AU50+. The attribution is noted on the NGC label. Ex Howard R. Newcomb, J. C. Morgenthau & Co. 2/16/1945:655-Floyd T.
