Choice lustrous steel brown with at least 20% of the obverse and 10% of the reverse showing faded mint red. Satiny mint frost covers this cent, even the highest points of the devices, and it has excellent eye appeal. There are some small marks including microscopic planchet flakes near the rims on the obverse and a few small carbon spots. A spot over the 1 in the date has been lightly abraded and there are unabraded spots under the first T in STATES and on the E in AMERICA. LDS with die cracks on the reverse and a narrow but clearly defined rim cud from right of star 8 nearly reaching star 10, and the cud is strongest near star 10. Our grade is MS63. Certainly high in the condition census for the variety, perhaps tied for second finest. The attribution is noted on the PCGS label.
