Frosty mint red fading to light steel brown with about half the mellowing mint color remaining visible on both sides. The surfaces are satiny and lustrous and this cent has excellent eye appeal. The only marks are faint traces of an old fingerprint in the field before the portrait and a tiny swipe of darker brown toning under the E in AMERICA. This cent would rate a higher grade if the strike was sharper, but there is obvious weakness on the lowest curl at star 13 and on parts of the wreath. LDS with bisecting die cracks on both sides. Graded MS63 and CC#2 in the Bland census. Our grade is MS60+, close to MS62. The attribution and Brown-Ahumada provenance are noted on the PCGS label. (The holder is badly scuffed on the reverse.)
