Superb lustrous light bluish steel brown. Satiny mint frost covers this cent and the eye appeal is outstanding. Nearly flawless. The only marks are a tiny planchet flake off the upper right point of star 1 and a barely visible hairline scratch in the field before the chin. EDS but not quite the earliest. The fields are starting to show very fine radial flowlines from the obverse dentils but the dashes on either side of the 9 are still clear. Graded MS63 Choice and tied for CC#4 honors in the Noyes census, his photo #36926. Our grade is MS63+, close to MS64. The attribution and Twin Leaf Collection provenance are noted on the PCGS label.
