The fields are smooth and slightly reflective thanks to freshly polished dies. This cent would rate gem status is not for a carbon spot nestled between the upper left points of star 5. Otherwise there are only a few minor spots on the obverse and the reverse is pristine. E-MDS, die state b early. The die line above UN reaches to over the center of the N where it fades out. Called MS61 and tied for CC#3 in the Noyes census, his photo #30466. Our grade is MS64, tied for CC#1 in the Grellman census.
