Hello lordmarcovan; a question: I see your cent straight-graded. Yet on my screen, the coin has the color of a washer .. not quite silvery, but a bit like lead. I find it quite attractive and different. Is the coin that color in-hand?
Thank you for posting it.

Thanks for asking. The coin is a really dark brown in hand. It did come out with a sort of lead-like appearance in the NGC Photovision pics I used in my template. In hand it is a little smoother and not quite as porous looking, at least to my naked eye.

Nice! Probably my favorite colonial type.
As someone from Massachusetts I have to say that is one awesome coin!

I think @Bob13 ’s example above is slightly superior to mine in both grade and color, but I like mine, and the price seemed right at the time.
Here’s the half cent. Hoping others will chime in with some more examples.
