Lot 1400
1851 WB-101. PCGS graded MS-65. CAC Approved. This lot represents an outstanding quality example of this scarce date, of which few are known at the Gem level (or finer). A blush of pale teal is seen around selected rim areas and portions of the fields, fading over to the usual russet-lilac at the remaining areas, perfectly balanced and matched on both sides. The strike on all the devices is sharp. Notice the repunched 851 low in the date, while the first 1 has a small raised lump near the top of its post. An impressive example of this condition rarity. Pop 2; 1 finer in 67. (PCGS # 6266) .
Estimated Value $13,000 - 14,000.
