Date: 1847Choice lustrous medium steel brown and light chocolate with a few tiny peeps of faded mint color in protected areas. The surfaces are satiny and the eye appeal of this cent is outstanding. The only marks, and they are microscopic, are traces of an old fingerprint in the field around stars 11 & 12 and a speck of darker toning under the right foot of the R in AMERICA. Sharply struck with full radial lines in all the stars and crisp details in the devices, including the tip of the coronet. LDS, die state d. A fine but clearly visible die crack arcs across the reverse from the dentils through the D in UNITED, upper portion of the wreath, and ER in AMERICA before reaching the rim over that R. This variety is quite scarce overall but especially so in higher grades. Only two are known in mint state, and the next best grades only AU50 followed by a few at VF35. Graded MS63 and tied for CC#1 in the Noyes census, his photo #31397. Our grade is MS63+, tied with one other example for CC#1 honors in the Grellman census. The attribution and Naftzger Collection provenance are noted on the PCGS label. A highlight of the late date cents offered in this year's EAC Sale, and it comes with a very nice provenance.
