Five points sharper with many very tiny contact marks on both sides, none significant but too many for this level of sharpness. Rather glossy medium brown and light chocolate. Sharply struck E-MDS, Breen state II, with some crumbling in the dentils over the B in LIBERTY. The date and legends are all strong, and the reverse is rotated 165 degrees CCW from the normal head-to-foot die orientation. This cent has nice eye appeal in spite of the tiny marks.
