Choice glossy medium brown. A beautiful cent with very light wear, close to VF35. The reverse is close to EF40 (the reverse is always a bit sharper because that side is bulged slightly outward in this die marriage). The only mark is a dull, light rim nick at the N in UNITED. Late die state, state b, with a large, bold rim cud over TES. The repunching across the upright of the 1 is clear. Second finest of only three known with the cud break and CC#5 overall for this rare variety. This is the plate coin for the die state in the 2001 edition of the Grellman reference on the cents of 1840-1857. A prize for the collector of significant die states. 59088151 Ex Bowers & Merena 3/18/1999:1161-J. R. "Bob" Grellman 7/25/2006-Daniel W.
