An attractive cent with excellent luster and eye appeal, but there
are a few minor contact marks, including some faint scratches on the
cheek. Frosty light steel brown with slightly darker steel brown
toning on the highpoints and lighter reddish steel brown faded down
from mint color in protected areas. No spots or stains. MDS with
fine radial die flowlines covering the fields on both sides and most
of the dentils still visible. There are no significantly different
die states for this variety, which is the product of two previously
used dies (obverse of N-17 late and reverse of N-4 and N-14, late).
