[L#1038] 1811 L1C S-287 R2 MS60+. Turban Head.
Frosty bluish steel brown and light chocolate with attractive, lustrous surfaces. The reverse is satiny and highly lustrous, virtually perfect. There are two small wisps of darker chocolate brown toning in the field off the nose tip and another surrounding the first 1 in the date. The only sign of contact is a microscopic tick on the nose even with the bottom of the eye. M-LDS, Breen state IV. The obverse is misaligned to K-10 while the reverse is off only a tiny amount to K-12. A wonderful example of this tough date. Called MS60 and tied for CC#4 in the Noyes census (his photo #31563). Del Bland also says MS60 but tied for CC#9. Either way this is a very attractive cent, and the reverse is choice.
