Lustrous light chocolate brown and olive with 20-25% of the mint red remaining on both sides. Satiny mint frost covers this cent and the eye appeal is outstanding. Nearly void of defects. A tiny planchet void on the rim just right of the date and a tiny diagonal nick or planchet flake over the right top of the E in CENT are the best identifying marks, but neither is at all significant. M-LDS with die cracks on the reverse, including a fine one through ES in STATES to the dentils over the left side of the adjacent O. A very nice Booby Head cent. Graded MS65 and CC#3 in the Bland census. Noyes says MS63 and tied for CC#3 (no Noyes photo # available). Our grade is MS63. The attribution and COL Ellsworth Collection provenance are noted on the PCGS Gold Shield label.
