Lustrous light steel brown with 5% of the obverse and at least 15% of the reverse showing mint red. Satiny mint frost covers this cent and the eye appeal is excellent. The only mark is a line of nicks in the hair over IB into the field above. EDS with a partial inner circle under 183 to star 1 and from star 2 to just past star 8. The left half of both sides is more strongly struck than the right sides, and there is obvious weakness on the hair buns. Our grade is MS60+. The attribution and Twin Leaf Collection provenance are noted on the PCGS label.
