Lot 480

The only notable marks are a small carbon spot in the field close before the middle of the nose and a light diagonal nick between stars 9 & 10. Microscopic specks of crud can be found with a strong glass and it appears this cent has never been brushed. EDS, die state a, with fine die lines at AME and no rim cud break on the obverse.
