A highly desirable example of this iconic issue, displaying rich, original brown surfaces with warm chocolate and red undertones that are evenly distributed on both sides. Luster remains vivid beneath the patina, particularly around the protected devices. The obverse shows sharp detail in Lincoln’s portrait, with strong definition in the hair and coat. The reverse is equally appealing, with bold wheat ears, accompanied by clean fields and excellent overall balance. A wholesome, problem-free Mint State example of this key-date, offering strong eye appeal and solid technical quality.
