Description: PCGS authenticated and graded AU 55. Lustrous light brown and light olive with a splash of darker reddish chocolate toning at star 6. The only notable contact marks are a collection of ticks on the jaw and upper part of the neck. MDS. The center dot on the reverse is faint, nearly gone. In addition there is a triple profile on the last 2 digits in the date and on the lower curls, and doubling shows on other curls, along the back of the ear, and on the truncation (all from die shift or bounce). This is the plate coin for the die variety in John Wright's "The Cent Book." Comes with a nice provenance that has been traced back nearly a century. Ex; A. De Yoanna - J. K.
