Lustrous light olive and steel brown with bluish steel overtones on the reverse. Underlying mellowed mint red covers about 15% of the obverse. Just a few trivial marks; mostly faint specks of darker toning at stars 4-6. What makes this cent so special is the die state. MDS, die state c, with a strong rim cud break under the 185 and a narrow (but clearly defined) irregular rim cud from star 9 to beyond star 10 nearly halfway to star 11. The narrow cud break was unknown and is not mentioned in the new Grellman reference on the series (but I doubt it would show on a worn coin). The cud under the 185 is the strongest seen for this extremely rare die state. A prize for a die state collector. Ex Henry T. Hettger, Goldbergs 9/26/2012:631 (lot ticket included)
