A sharp cent that was cleaned and lightly burnished, then retoned glossy steel brown and chocolate with slightly mellowed red showing in protected areas on both sides. Looks like a red and brown mint state cent with decent eye appeal, but a glass reveals the truth. No spots or stains. A dull nick on the rim above star 5 is the only contact mark. An unremarkable cent except for the die state, which is quite rare. LDS, die state f, with strong rim cud breaks over the E in STATES and OF-A. Called AU50 and tied for CC#2 overall in the Noyes census, his photo #31048. Tied for CC#3 among only 11 known with the two rim cuds in the Grellman census. Comes with an important provenance (which attests to the rarity of the die state). (This is Newcomb's #17.)Ex Henry C. Hines-Floyd T. Starr, Stack's 6/13/1984:521-R. E.
