Lustrous medium brown and light chocolate with swipes of darker olive brown toning around the coronet tip and under the R in AMERICA. Sharply struck and quite attractive. There are no notable contact marks, but there are very faint traces of an old fingerprint in the field at stars 10-12. MDS with very fine radial die flowlines in the fields on both sides. A very nice cent that comes with an outstanding provenance. Graded MS60 by Del Bland. Our grade is MS60. The attribution is noted on the PCGS Gold Shield label.
