Lot 367
1854 C-1 R1+. PCGS graded MS-64 Red & Brown. Frosty mint red fading to steel brown on the highpoints, about two-thirds of the original color remaining. The only marks are a small spot of very fine carbon between star 5 and the dentils and two more in the field before the nose. E-MDS, Manley state 1.0. The fields are starting to show microscopic radial flowlines at the dentil tips but the dash left of the base of the 1 remains sharp. The lump on the I in UNITED has not formed. Our grade is consistent with the slab grade. The attribution and Carvin Goodridge provenance are noted on the PCGS label. PCGS population 1; the only example of the variety graded RB at PCGS (#35331).
Estimated Value $600-UP.
