1850 C-1 R2. PCGS graded MS-64 Brown. Very attractive dark bluish steel and chocolate. The fields are hard and reflective and this piece has the look of a proof strike. Virtually flawless except for a couple dull nicks at star 3 and some shallow low spots at the dentil tips on the reverse (caused by grease or debris on the die). Very early die state. Sharp doubling (from die bounce) shows on much of the obverse, including the date, stars, and most of the profile.
Our grade is MS62. The attribution and Carvin Goodridge provenance are noted on the PCGS label.
PCGS population 2; tied for finest graded in Brown (35321).
Estimated Value $600-UP.
