1851 C-1 R1 PCGS graded MS63 Red
1851 C-1 R1. PCGS graded MS-63 Red. Lustrous bright original mint red fading to light steel brown on the highpoints, 85% of the red remaining. There are a few tiny contact marks, including a nick in the field off the bust tip, a pair of tiny ticks right of star 3, a small spot over star 13, and another over the LF in HALF. M-LDS. The fields are covered with microscopic radial die flowlines that create the attractive cartwheel luster. The repunching right of the base of the second 1 is clear. A common date that is almost never available with this much original mint color. Plated in the second edition of the Cohen book to illustrate the variety. Our grade is consistent with the slab grade. PCGS population 1; the only Red example graded for the variety. The attribution and Davy provenance are noted on the PCGS label. Davy #51.1.11.
Estimated Value $1,500-UP.

Provenance: Ex Ray D. Munde-Roger S. Cohen, Jr., Superior 2/2/1992:369 (plated in color).
