Frosty light to medium steel brown with generous traces of slightly faded mint red showing on both sides. Satiny mint luster shows in the fields and protected areas. This cent has mint state sharpness but there are a couple faint hairline scratches in the field before the nose, a fine scratch from the nostril to the jaw under the earlobe where it fades away, and a couple dull ones over the C in CENT. E-MDS, die state a. The fine die line through the O in ONE is clear. Removed from a PCGS slab graded MS63BN (PCGS label #406497.63/16210012 included and it shows the attribution). Our grade is net AU55, tied for CC#11 in the Grellman census. Ex Chris McCawley 6/1990-Evan L. Kopald, McCawley & Grellman Auctions/Goldbergs 9/20/2010:1129-Fred Iskra-Gary Hahn, 2016 EAC Sale, lot 452 (includes the Iskra collection envelope and Kopald lot ticket)
