M-LDS, Breen state III, with a die crack that arcs from the rim up through the 1 in the date and hair to the tip of the lower end of the hair ribbon and ending at the dentils off the end of the upper hair ribbon. Graded MS60 and tied for CC#6 in the Noyes census, his photo #23355. Our grade is MS60 as well. A great cent that comes with a great provenance.
