A beautiful mint state cent that had the radial lines in most of the stars enhanced. Otherwise this cent is choice, and the enhancement to the stars is easy to miss. Lustrous medium brown and steel. MDS. The inner circle under 183 to star 1 is gone but traces of an inner circle are still visible at stars 2-9. This is the plate coin for the variety in the Wright reference, and it comes with a nice provenance.
