CAC. S-30. This coin is a wonderful and even milk chocolate brown. Die clash at top of Liberty's head, typical die rust on reverse. Auction description: "An absolutely stunning piece with stronger quality and eye appeal than one might expect even at the desirable Choice EF grade level. Both sides are smooth in hand, and impressively so, without so much as a single mark or other blemish to report. The strike is a bit tight to the upper right obverse border, better centered on the reverse, and both sides exhibit at least discernible denticulation in all areas. Well defined overall, in fact, with handsome medium brown patina that speaks volumes about the originality of this PQ large cent. In 1870, Dr. Edward Maris named this variety the "Amiable Face," for the pleasant expression to Liberty's portrait, a gentlemanly revision of his racier first moniker published in 1869, the "Amatory Face." "
CAC, Secure Plus holder. Hard surfaces, consistent pumpkin color.
CAC, OGH. Superb eye appeal, have not seen one like it on market.
CAC. WB-10. Fantastic eye appeal for grade with green, orange, and gold toning.
This coin is ridiculous in terms of eye appeal (TV is accurate) and my willingness to pay the premium to own it!
