Lustrous light olive and steel brown. The fields are smooth and slightly reflective. This is a very sharply struck cent that has several carbon spots on both sides, the largest of these at the dentils over star 11 and under the tip of the wreath stem. The only signs of contact are a very light rim bruise right of star 9 and another over the I in AMERICA. EDS, die state a, without any crumbling inside the top of the N in ONE. Several examples of this variety were called proof strikes by Breen and Loring (Breen incorrectly called them early strikes of N-1), and NGC has even certified a few as proofs. In this cataloger's opinion, all N-30 examples are business strikes and only the early strikes have reflective fields. But the sharpness and eye appeal of the early strikes are outstanding. Our grade is MS60 sharpness net AU55, CC#7 of this rare die variety in the Grellman census. The finest is a prooflike gem that resides in the ANS collection. Comes with a wonderful provenance. The attribution and Iskra Collection provenance are noted on the PCGS label.405710.63/81174543Ex Sidney W. Smith-Larry Whitlow (Beverly Hills Coin Shop)-R. S.
