Lot 201
1849 C-1 R2- PCGS graded MS64 Red & Brown, CAC Approved. Frosty light olive and bluish steel brown faded down from mint color with at least 10% of the red remaining visible on the obverse and 30% on the reverse. The only marks, and they are trivial, are a speck of slightly darker brown toning midway between stars 10 & 11 and a few microscopic specks on either side of the top of the 4 in the date. A sharp example that offers excellent eye appeal. EDS, Manley state 1.0. The die lines over NI are clear but the fields are no longer reflective. Our grade is MS63. The attribution and Green Tree Collection provenance are noted on the PCGS label. PCGS population 2; none finer for the variety. Estimate Value $1,000 - UP
