Slightly faded mint red mellowing to light steel brown on the highpoints with nearly a third of the planchet showing mint color. Overtones of violet and light bluish steel show on the reverse, mostly on the right side. This cent is nearly flawless except for an obvious planchet lamination flaw in the dentils from star 2 to star 3 (as struck). MDS, die state b. The points up from the top of the E in AMERICA are gone but the segmented line under ME is clear. Softly struck at the hair over the ear, the hair buns, and the shoulder, all normal for this variety. A nice cent in spite of the planchet defect. Tied for CC#10 in the Grellman census. Comes with an important provenance. Ex Stack's 1/16/1990:1200-Anthony Terranova-Wesley A.
