Very attractive lustrous bluish steel and light olive with 20-25% of the mint red remaining. Satiny mint frost covers this cent and it offers great eye appeal. The only notable marks are a microscopic tick right of the eye, a spot of darker bluish steel toning (not carbon) under the 3, and a few very light abrasions in the field before the mouth and end of the nose. E-MDS. Many of the earlier die lines over ERICA are still visible as is the point down from the end of the wreath stem (the N-8 die state). Our grade is MS63+. A beautiful cent. The attribution as N-7 (which is incorrect) and Ahumada provenance are noted on the PCGS label. PCGS population 1; finest RB of the variety.
