An original, problem-free example of this perennial favorite of Lincoln cent collectors. The surfaces are milk-chocolate brown, with a mild woodgrain appearance. The details on all the high points are well defined for the grade, and there are no detracting contact marks.

The originality of the coin is seen in the speckles of green verdigris wedged in crevices in various locations—no one has ever dipped this piece.
