Lustrous light chocolate and bluish steel brown with slightly faded mint red showing through in the fields and protected areas on both sides, at least a third of the surface displaying some faded mint color. Virtually flawless, a beautiful cent with great eye appeal. A microscopic planchet chip near the dentils over the left side of star 7 is the only mark. MDS with fine radial die flowlines covering the fields but the spike from the leaf tip below the R in AMERICA remains clear. Called MS65 and tied for CC#2 in the Bland census. Noyes says MS63 and tied for CC#3, his photo #28682. Our grade is MS65. PCGS Population 1; none finer.
