Beautiful lustrous mint red mellowing to light steel brown on the highpoints with 75% of the red remaining on the obverse and 95% of the brilliant original mint color showing on the reverse. Unbroken satiny mint frost covers the entire planchet and the reverse has the look of a cent that was just minted. A very impressive piece with outstanding eye appeal. Must have been very close to receiving an "RD" designation from PCGS. The notable marks are a small spot of dark steel toning under the 8 in the date, faint traces of a fingerprint between stars 8 & 9, and a microscopic speck of carbon nestled against the left side of the O in ONE. M-LDS, die state c (Newcomb's old #9). The die lines at the inner curl are faint, the obverse die cracks are clear, and the reverse is uncracked. Our grade is MS65+, tied for CC#4 in the Grellman census. The attribution and COL Ellsworth Collection provenance are noted on the PCGS label.
