Lot 2079
1857 C-1 R2. NGC graded MS-62 Brown. Steel brown and chocolate. No defects. The strike and fields have some characteristics of a proof strike rather than a normal business strike. The rims are squared, the obverse fields are reflective, the reverse fields are very slightly reflective and covered with microscopic die polishing lines, and the reverse shows strike doubling over most of the legend and dentils. The proof characteristics are not convincing enough to say this piece is indeed a proof, but it is at least a very early business strike with exceptional eye appeal for the grade. EAC grade consistent with the slab grade.
Estimated Value $400 - 600.
