Lustrous bright mint red fading to bluish steel and light olive brown with more than a third of the mint color remaining visible, mostly on the obverse. The surfaces are satiny and the eye appeal of this cent is outstanding. The only marks are a few microscopic pre-striking planchet chips on the cheek and jaw and a tiny tick on the tip of the nose. M-LDS, die state c. The repunching on the date is weak but still visible on all 4 digits, and die cracks meander through the top of most of the legend outside the wreath. Called MS65 and CC#1 in the Noyes census, his photo #31055. Our grade is MS64, CC#1 in the Grellman census. A great cent that comes with a very nice provenance. The attribution and COL Ellsworth Collection provenance are noted on the PCGS Gold Shield label.
