Lustrous medium brown and light chocolate faded down from mint red with slightly mellowed mint color showing through in the fields and protected areas on both sides. At least a third of the planchet displays some shade of original red. This cent has great eye appeal and only a few microscopic marks. These include a faint diagonal hairline down through the bottom of the first 8 in the date and another at the dentils below star 13. Late die state. The dies are well worn and the spike from the leaf tip under the R in AMERICA is gone. Clear die clashmarks from the wreath show along the profile of Ms Liberty, strongest at the end of the nose. Called MS65 and tied for CC#2 in the Bland census. Noyes says MS62 choice and tied for CC#9, his photo #20862. Our grade is MS64. The attribution and Naftzger Collection provenance are noted on the PCGS label.
