Light contact marks are scattered over both sides; a very light rim bruise above star 8 can help identify this cent. M-LDS, die state c, with crumbling that connects the left top of the U to the dentils above. The repunching on the 1 is sharp. Tied for CC#12 in the Grellman census. Estimated Value $250 - UP
