Lot 232
1857 C-1 R2 PCGS graded MS65 Red & Brown, CAC Approved. Frosty light to medium steel brown with about 25% of the planchet showing mint color. A very nice half cent, nearly flawless. The only marks are some microscopic specks of darker toning scattered over both sides, and these are only visible with the aid of a strong glass. A tiny planchet flake at the right point of star 1 can help identify this piece. MDS with faint traces of a die polishing line at OF-A. Our grade is MS64. A superior example of our final year of "Little Half Sisters." The attribution and Green Tree Collection provenance are noted on the PCGS label. PCGS population 1; none finer for the variety. Estimate Value $1,500 - UP
