The notable marks are a very light rim bruise just left of the date, a speck of dark crud on the rim even with the lower part of the neck, and a tiny scratch between the A & second T in STATES. Peeps of mint frost can be found in protected areas on the reverse. It appears this cent has never been brushed and there are traces of shallow dirt in protected areas around the wreath. Perhaps a proper bath would uncover more of the natural luster and enhance the eye appeal of this cent. LDS, Breen state IV, with strong cud breaks at RTY and MERI.
