A choice cent with excellent eye appeal and no notable defects; just a faint hint of rub on the highest points of the devices. LDS, die state c. The repunching under the 8 & 5 is gone but it is still clear on the bottom of the 3. The obverse is slightly misaligned to K-9 while the reverse is centered on the planchet. Our grade is AU58+, very close to mint state. The attribution and Iskra provenance are noted on the PCGS label. PCGS population 3; 2 finer in 66 for the variety at PCGS. Estimated Value $250-UP
