Lustrous tan and light steel brown, the reverse a shade or two darker than the obverse. The surfaces are satiny and this cent has excellent eye appeal. A small group of tiny, very light nicks between star 1 and the neck are the only marks, and they are barely visible. M-LDS. The die line connecting the bases of the I & T in UNITED seen in the earlier state is gone and the fields are covered with fine radial die flowlines. There are clear double outlines on the top of UNITED and ERI (in the die, not from die bounce). A really nice example of this "Redbook" type, the only Plain Hair Cord with Small Letters variety. Our grade is MS62. The attribution is noted on the PCGS label. (The slab is scuffed on the reverse.)
