Sharpness near mint state but there are a half dozen dull pinpricks or planchet chips on the cheek and upper neck plus another in the field off the tip of the nose. Highly lustrous chocolate and dark bluish steel brown with traces of mint color showing on both sides. This cent looks choice mint state except for the pinpricks/chips, but they can't be ignored. LDS, die state b. Both dies are well worn and the fine die line at the N in ONE is gone.
Estimated Value $150-UP.
