1803 C-3 R2 PCGS graded MS63 Brown
1803 C-3 R2. PCGS graded MS-63 Brown. Lustrous light olive and steel brown with overtones of light bluish steel on the reverse. Great eye appeal and virtually flawless. No spots or stains, and the only mark is a barely visible thin nick above the A in HALF. Manley state 4.0 showing myriad die lapping lines from IBE to the head and ribbon. The upper part of the wreath is softly struck, as always in this die state, but everything else is nicely impressed. This is the Manley plate coin for the 4.0 die state. Our grade is MS60. The attribution and Carvin Goodridge provenance are noted on the PCGS label. PCGS population 1; the only example of the variety graded (#35134).
Estimated Value $4,000-UP.

Provenance: Ex Lester Merkin 3/15/1967:101 (where plated)-James W. and Margaret W. Carter, Stack's 3/18/1986:827. Both lot envelopes are included.
