Lustrous light greenish olive with hints of bluish steel and sea-green overtones on both sides. The surfaces are satiny and this cent is very attractive. The only defect is a spot of darker toning on the curl over the 5, and this spot was lightly abraded to minimize the distraction. Otherwise just a few trivial marks, none notable. MDS with microscopic die flowlines covering the fields on both sides. The always-present die crack around the reverse legend is clear. The reverse is not rotated and there is a very fine double profile on the forelock and lips plus fine doubling on most of the stars. Our grade is MS60+. Comes with an impressive provenance. The attribution and Fricke provenance are noted on the PCGS label.
