Lustrous golden light olive and tan. Satiny and very attractive. The only marks are a few very tiny specks of darker toning right of star 2 and a small tick on the diagonal of N in CENT. There are very shallow low spots on the neck and in the field before the nose, and a deeper low spot rings the inside of the wreath, all as struck with lubricant on the dies. E-MDS, die state a late. The repunching on the 1's is dull but obvious and the die lines in the field at the date are visible. Our grade is MS63. Tied for CC#5 overall but finest of the N-20 die state in the Grellman census (states a & b are N-20 while state c equates to Newcomb's old #28). The attribution is noted on the PCGS label. Comes with a nice provenance. 406707.64/26560594 Ex Homer K. Downing-unknown-Stack's 3/11/1998:142-R. S. Brown, Jr., McCawley & Grellman Auctions/Superior 6/2/2002:951-Daniel W.
