PCGS authenticated and graded MS 64 BN. Lustrous light bluish steel and olive brown with hints of faded mint color in protected areas on the reverse. The only marks are some barely visible, tiny planchet flakes on the truncation over the 83, a couple tiny ticks right of the mouth, and a subtle puff of slightly darker toning over the N in ONE. LDS. The die line at stars 5-6 is gone as are most of the dentils on both sides. A small rim cud three dentils wide is located under the end of the wreath stem, but it is barely visible on this example. Satiny mint frost covers this cent, even the highpoints, and it has excellent eye appeal.
