PCGS authenticated and graded MS 62 BN. Very attractive glossy medium brown and light chocolate. Just a few minor marks including some thin horizontal nicks left of the ear and darker olive brown toning around stars 8-10. MDS, die state b. The earlier die lines at the dentils near stars 3-4 are gone. Mint frost covers the fields and protected areas and this cent has excellent eye appeal. CC#7 for the variety in the Grellman census. Noyes photo #30338. Comes with a nice provenance.
