Lot 121
1853 C-1 R1. NGC graded MS-66 Brown. Beautiful and highly lustrous bluish steel brown and olive with 5-10% of the mint color remaining, mostly on the obverse. Satiny mint frost covers the planchet and this piece offers outstanding eye appeal. No spots or stains. The only marks, and they are microscopic, are a couple tiny ticks on the cheek and another midway between the second S in STATES and the adjacent O in OF. M-LDS, Manley state 2.0. The die line through the first T in STATES is gone and swelling is just starting to show in the obverse fields. A very attractive half cent. Our grade is MS64. The attribution is shown on the NGC label. Pop 34; 9 finer, 4 in 66 Star, 1 in 66+, 4 in 67.
Estimated Value $1,000-UP.
