This cent was cleaned and retoned and both sides are covered with a thin coat of wax or some similar substance. No verdigris. A dull nick in the field off the chin is the only notable mark. E-MDS, Breen state II, with a die crack arcing through UN and the fraction bar. The date and legends are complete and the overdate is obvious.
Estimated Value $100-UP.
