The obverse is lustrous mint red fading to light bluish steel, at least two-thirds of the faded mint color visible. The reverse is frosty bright original mint red just starting to change to steel brown on the highpoints, about 90% of the mint color remaining. Satiny mint frost covers this cent, even the highest points of the devices, and the eye appeal is superb. The coin is flawless except for a few tiny specks of darker toning on the obverse. A dark speck in the field over the right edge of star 12 is the best identifying mark. Nicely struck M-LDS, die state c (Newcomb's old #6). A solid gem example, one of the finest 1849 cents of any die variety. This cent is plated in the Dave Bowers book, The Whitman Encyclopedia of U.S. Half Cents and Large Cents. Called MS66 and CC#3 in the Noyes census, his photo #30527. Our grade is MS66, CC#2 in the Grellman census. The attribution and Naftzger Collection provenance are noted on the PCGS label
