Frosty light steel brown with lustrous tan and hints of faded mint red in protected areas. In addition there are a dozen specks of darker olive toning scattered over the obverse; the largest is in the field between star 9 and the hair bun. A couple long, thin nicks near the dentils at star 10 and a dull nick on the rim at star 2 are the only signs of contact. Very close to mint state, just a hint of friction on the highest points. The usual (and only) die state, with both dies heavily worn from earlier marriages. This is the discovery coin (5/1973) and the Wright plate coin for the variety (The Cent Book, page 314). Graded MS60 and tied for finest known honors in the Bland condition census. Our grade is AU58. Noyes photo #36035. An important cent with a nice history and provenance. The attribution and COL Ellsworth Collection provenance are noted on the PCGS Gold Shield label.
