Date: 1847Lustrous medium olive and steel with mint red on 15% of the obverse and on at least a third of the reverse. The notable defects, and they are trivial, are a speck of crud nestled between two dentils at star 1, a tiny reddish spot between star 4 and the nose, and a tiny planchet chip on the coronet over the I in LIBERTY. EDS, die state a, without the additional die crack through the top of ME. The fine die lines at the neck and throat are sharp and the obverse fields are smooth. Called MS63 and tied for CC#1 in the Noyes census, his photo #31238. Our grade is MS63, tied for CC#4 in the Grellman census. The reverse is closer to MS64. A sharp, very attractive cent that comes with a great provenance. The attribution and COL Ellsworth Collection provenance are noted on the PCGS label. (The holder is lightly scuffed on the front.)37287.64/18900147Ex Howard R. Newcomb-Floyd T. Starr, Stack's 6/13/1984:508 ($467.50)-R. E.
