Beautiful frosty light chocolate and steel brown with peeps of mellowed mint red on both sides. The surfaces are lustrous and the eye appeal of this cent is outstanding. A small nick on the tip of the nose and a spot of slightly lighter steel toning on the left point of star 9 are the notable marks, and they are trivial. Struck from the early state of the dies, die state a early. Fine diagonal die polishing lines cover the fields on both sides and evidence of the delicate repunching on the 4 is sharp. In addition portions of a badly misplaced 4 show in the curls over the left side of the 5 where the upright and a trace of the serif of the crossbar can be found. The fields on the obverse are hard but not reflective. Our grade is MS63, tied for finest known honors with one other example in the Grellman census but this cent has a higher PCGS grade. A beautiful cent that comes with a great provenance. The attribution and Naftzger Collection provenance are noted on the PCGS label.
