Sharpness EF45 or better but this cent was whizzed and nicely retoned frosty chocolate and steel brown. No corrosion and the only marks are a couple fine diagonal scratches in the field off the end of the nose. This cent has very nice eye appeal and at first glance it looks choice and close to mint state, but a glass reveals the unmistakable effects of whizzing. Sad because this would have been a solid high condition census example of the variety. LDS with a small but strong rim cud break left of star 2 (same as usually seen on the N-18 marriage). Our grade is net VF30 (which still places this piece at the lower end of the condition census). The attribution and COL Ellsworth Collection provenance are noted on the PCGS Gold Shield label.
