Close to AU50 with just a few too many tiny contact marks for the higher grade. The notable marks are a very tiny rim nick under the 1 and a barely visible rim bruise over the first A in AMERICA. Very attractive lustrous chocolate brown with small peeps of original mint color on the left side of the reverse. Satiny mint luster covers the protected areas and this cent has great eye appeal. MDS, die state b. The obverse field is starting to show fine die rust around the date but there is no crumbling on the left top of star 8. Tied for CC#9 overall, but most of the nicer ones are from the late (old N-13) die state.
