1856 C-1 R2 PCGS graded MS64 Red & Brown
1856 C-1 R2. PCGS graded MS-64 Red & Brown. Frosty mint red fading to steel brown, about 75% of the red remaining on both sides. A beautiful half cent and essentially flawless. The best identifying marks are a tiny speck of dark toning hidden within the curl over the 5 in the date and a subtle spot of very slightly darker toning at the dentils over the right point of star 7. Very sharply struck EDS, Manley state 1.0, with slightly reflective fields on both sides. The lump on the upper part of the I in UNITED is strong. A premium example in an impressive die state. Our grade is MS65. The attribution and Carvin Goodridge provenance are noted on the PCGS label. PCGS population 1; the only example of the variety graded at PCGS (#35337).
Estimated Value $600-UP.

Provenance: Ex Stack's 3/17/1987:264 (lot ticket included).
