Lot 352
1849 C-1 R2. PCGS graded MS-62 Brown. Glossy light to medium chocolate brown with traces of mint red remaining on both sides. There are a few very tiny ticks on both sides, none notable. EDS, Manley state 1.0. The fields on both sides are slightly reflective. This planchet was improperly cut from the strip leaving a planchet cutter impression in the dentils at stars 5-6 and a void at the rim at stars 12-13 that caused the dentils in that area to strike very weakly. Our grade is MS60. The attribution and Carvin Goodridge provenance are noted on the PCGS label. PCGS population 1; 2 in 64BN (#35318).
Estimated Value $300-UP.
