-- Surfaces Smoothed -- PCGS Genuine. AU Details. Ex: Husak
Collection. Breen Die State I. This very sharp cent was lightly
burnished and nicely retoned to a glossy medium chocolate brown
with lighter brown in the protected areas of the reverse. There is
a trace of extremely fine roughness hidden in the hair left of the
neck, a tiny dimple on the jaw, a small flake under the eye, and a
pit or small punch mark in the dentils over the left side of the Y
in LIBERTY. The die crack through AMERIC is faint. Graded EF40 net
VF20 and CC#7 in the Noyes census, his photo #22397. Bland says
AU50 net VF35 and CC#6. Our EAC grade is net VF35. A very
attractive cent despite the defects, and the LIHERTY error is bold.
Comes with a very nice provenance. The attribution is noted on the
PCGS label.Ex Charles J. DuPont; Anderson DuPont Sale (Stack's, 9/24/1954), lot 133; Dorothy I. Paschal; Dr. William H. Sheldon, 1955; Dorothy I. Paschal, 1972; R. S.
