Mint state sharpness but cleaned and partly retoned golden tan and steel brown. The only mark is a tiny planchet flake on the cheek and an even smaller one high on the neck, both as struck. Very sharply struck EDS, die state a. All the fine die lines are clear and every device is fully impressed. This cent deserves a better retoning. Our grade is net AU50+, tied for CC#8 in the Grellman census. And it comes with an impressive provenance. Removed from a PCGS holder graded UNC Detail, Cleaned (PCGS label #403880.92/37577500 included, and it shows the attribution and COL Ellsworth Collection provenance). Ex Dr. George P. French-T.
