Sharpness very close to mint state and this cent has excellent eye appeal, but it was lightly cleaned and retoned. Glossy medium brown and light olive with light bluish steel and sea green overtones, especially on the reverse. Very sharply struck with slightly reflective fields, especially on the reverse. A tiny tick under star 7 is the only notable mark. EDS, Grellman die state b early. The die crack at TED-ST is faint and microscopic die polishing lines show in the fields on the obverse. A beautiful cent in spite of the light cleaning. A variety that is difficult to find in top grades; only one mint state piece is known graded by strict EAC standards. Noyes photo #30072. Comes with a nice provenance.Certificate: Pedigree: Ex Kreisberg & Schulman 1/1957:3335-Jerry Kolar-Dr. Robert J. Shalowitz-C. Douglas Smith-Herman Halpern, Stack's 3/16/1988:470-J. R.
