This micro roughness is effectively hidden by the attractive toning and the eye appeal of this cent is excellent. No verdigris or marks other than a tiny speck of lighter brown toning in the field off the tip of the nose. MDS, Breen die state III, with a single die crack joining the cap to the B above. EAC grade VF35, Noyes photo #26602. Pop 4; 12 finer. (PCGS # 901375) .
