Lot 101
1857 C-1 R2 MS60+. Glossy light chocolate and steel brown with 15% of the mint red remaining. The fields are slightly reflective, especially on the obverse, thanks to a fresh die polishing. The only marks are some microscopic specks of darker toning scattered over the obverse (visible only under strong magnification), a vertical planchet chip in the field above the head (as struck), and a nick hidden under the R in AMERICA. Removed from a PCGS slab graded MS63BN (label #1239.63/40059714 included). An attractive example of our final year of half cent production.
Estimated Value $400-UP.
