Lot 214
1853 C-1 R1 NGC graded MS66+ Brown. Very attractive and highly lustrous bluish steel and olive brown with 10% of the faded mint color remaining, mostly on the obverse. This half cent is extremely close to flawless and it offers superb eye appeal. A tiny planchet flake under the C in CENT is the only mark, and it is barely visible. LDS, Manley state 2.0. The die line at the first T in STATES is gone and the fields are covered with fine flowlines. A gem example. Our grade is MS65. The attribution is noted on the NGC label. NGC population 1; 3 finer in 67 for the variety. Estimate Value $1,500 - UP
