Lot 188
1833 C-1 R1 PCGS graded MS64+ Brown, CAC Approved. Very attractive lustrous bluish steel and olive with peeps of faded mint red on both sides. Satiny mint frost covers the planchet and this half cent offers outstanding eye appeal. Virtually flawless. The best identifying feature is a very small planchet clip that weakens a couple dentils right of star 8 and the opposing dentils over the R in AMERICA (as struck, of course). MDS, Manley state 2.0. The fields are smooth but not reflective and there are multiple sets of die clashmarks on the reverse and a single set on the obverse. Our grade is MS63+. The attribution and Green Tree Collection provenance are noted on the PCGS label. PCGS population 2; 2 finer, 1 in 65, 1 in 66 for the variety. Estimate Value $1,250 - UP
