This is the PCGS plate coin for the variety and is the single finest known with no red-brown or red examples known (though other unattributed examples are likely to exist). Deep, dark chocolate surfaces glow with orange-red hues on both well-defined sides. The outer star tips as well as the date and reserve peripheral lettering stretch toward the rims as the metal filled out the dies. Brilliantly strong devices glow with soft retained luster. Two planchet voids by star-13 and a light abrasion in front of Liberty's nose are the only mentionable flaws. A pleasing example of the Sheldon-289 Large Date variety, this coin boasts light die clashing. Sure to please the discerning collector. - Classic Head Cent
