Lustrous medium brown with hints of faded mint color showing through in protected areas on both sides. The fields are satiny and this cent has excellent eye appeal. Looks choice mint state, hence the ratings by PCGS and CAC, but there is a trace of rub on the highest points of the devices. Just a few trivial marks including a barely visible carbon spot on the ear lobe, a thin nick close to the bottom of the front edge of the coronet, and a small planchet chip on the rim at star 5 (as struck). EDS with smooth fields and no dentil crumbling or cud break on the obverse. Graded AU50 and tied for CC#4 in the Noyes census, his photo #27158. Our grade is AU55. The attribution and COL Ellsworth Collection provenance are noted on the PCGS Gold Shield label.
