Lot 146
1811 C-2 R3 Repunched 8 PCGS graded XF45. Beautiful medium chocolate brown and steel. Frosty luster covers the fields and protected areas and this piece offers great eye appeal, especially for this tough date. No roughness, only minor contact marks. The only notable mark is a small nick left of star 11. E-MDS, Manley state 2.0 early. There are fine die clashmarks on the obverse and the reverse is covered with nearly vertical die lapping lines that are found on the earliest strikes. The repunching at the lower left of the 8 in the date is clear. A premium 1811 half cent. Our grade is EF40+, close to EF45. The attribution and Green Tree Collection provenance are noted on the PCGS label. PCGS population 4; 3 finer, 1 in 50, 1 in 62, 1 in 65+ for the variety. Estimate Value $5,000 - UP
