Frosty medium olive brown and steel. The surfaces are lustrous and nearly flawless and this cent has great eye appeal. Look choice mint state but there is a hint of rub on the highest points of the devices. The only notable marks are some tiny pre-striking planchet chips at OF due to a weak strike in that area (opposite the bust tip). M-LDS, Breen state III. There is a fine double profile on the chin and neck. Called AU55 and tied for CC#4 in the Bland census (but graded MS60 by him in 1971). Noyes says AU50 and tied for CC#3, his photo #24083. Our grade is AU55. The attribution and Ralls provenance are shown on the PCGS label. (The reverse of the slab is badly scuffed.)
