1835 N-5 R2 Head of 1834, Small 8 & Stars MS60+

Lustrous light olive and chocolate brown with traces of golden tan toning in protected areas of the reverse. The surfaces are covered with attractive satiny mint luster and the eye appeal of this cent is excellent. The only marks are an extremely faint scuff on the cheek and a few microscopic ticks in the field above the inner hair bun. MDS with a sharp die line through the base of 835 into the field at right (as always). The obverse fields are satiny from microscopic die flowlines and the reverse legend is flowlined to the dentils. Die bounce (machine doubling) created a very strong double profile that extends from the top of the coronet down to the chin with additional double and triple outlines on stars 7-12. A beautiful cent, close to choice, and a great example of a double profile strike.
