Lot 2312
1857 C-1 R2. MS-62. Lustrous light olive and steel brown with 20% of the original mint red remaining. A small spot of slightly darker toning touches the hair under star 8 and another is located between the date and star 13. The only notable sign of contact is a long, thin nick touching the inner point of star 2. MDS. An attractive example of our last half cent, and rarely found with this much original mint red.
Estimated Value $300-UP.
