Lot Description

156.2 grains. Supremely attractive, with lustrous light brown surfaces showing lively gloss on both sides. Some old buildup around devices adds contrast, only trivial marks and no significant problems. In this early die state, some spalling is still visible on the obverse, like the lump above the bow arm. This is about as pretty as a Massachusetts cent can be at this grade level.
