Choice lustrous steel brown and light olive with faint peeps of underlying faded mint red on the obverse. Satiny mint frost covers this cent and the eye appeal is outstanding. The only notable marks are a barely visible scuff on the throat at the jawline and a speck of carbon under the second T in STATES. M-LDS, die state b. The fine early die lines over UN are gone and the fields are lightly flowlined. Two tiny tabs of extra planchet metal, possibly minor rim cud breaks, show on the outer edge of the rim at the top of the obverse (difficult but not impossible to see in the holder). Very curious. Our grade is MS60+, tied for CC#5 in the Grellman census. Has the eye appeal of a significantly higher grade. The attribution and Iskra Collection provenance are noted on the PCGS label.405664.64/81014436Ex Douglas F. Bird-Gary M. Ruttenberg, McCawley & Grellman Auctions 8/19/1995:524-R. S.
