Lot 416
1833 C-1 R5 (as a proof) PCGS graded PR65 Brown, CAC Approved. Very attractive light olive and golden tan. The obverse fields show moderate to deep reflectivity while the portrait is frosty giving this piece a subtle cameo appearance. The reverse fields are moderately reflective. The only marks are a few very fine lint impressions in the obverse fields (caused by fibers left behind by a cloth used to wipe the dies) and a tiny chip or struck-through impression at a dentil tip over the L in LIBERTY. Curiously, this tiny mark is present on several examples struck from the early, unclashed proof strikes (for an example see lot 133 in our 1/26/2014 sale of the Missouri Cabinet). EDS, Breen state II late. There is a very fine die crack connecting stars 2-7 but no trace of die clashmarks on either side. A beautiful early proof. Our grade is Proof-64+, close to 65. The attribution is noted on the PCGS label. PCGS population 2, none finer in Proof Brown. Estimate Value $10,000 - UP
