Glossy light to medium brown blending to steel brown on the reverse where generous traces of mellowed mint red remain visible. The fields are lustrous and this cent has great eye appeal. Looks mint state, and it has been graded at that level by many large cent experts and PCGS, but there is a hint of rub on the very highest points of the devices. Just trivial marks including a faint streak of reddish brown toning from star 6 arcing into the field before the face, a speck of darker toning in the field under the end of the chin, a very faint horizontal hairline over star 1, and a few very tiny pinpricks under the I in AMERICA. M-LDS with die cracks on both sides, some quite strong on the reverse, plus narrow rim cuds on the obverse, but the area over AME has not started to sink. The crack down from star 12 is clear. Graded MS60 by Del Bland and tied for finest known in his census. Our grade is AU58, clearly among the finest examples of the variety. Comes with a nice provenance. The attribution and COL Ellsworth Collection provenance are noted on the PCGS Gold Shield label.
