1848  FIRST RESTRIKE PROOF  R6-  PR62  BREEN1-B

Attractive medium blue steel with hints of iridescent rose on both sides. The fields are nicely reflective with moderate to deep mirrors on both sides and no notable hairlines. Would rate a choice grade except for a small scuff on the rim right of star 12 and a speck of very fine carbon in the dentils over the second S in STATES. Sharply struck with excellent eye appeal in spite of the minor marks. Weight 84.41 gns. Ex. Stack's 1/89-Ken Seachman.

1851  C-1  R1  MS60+

Lustrous olive and chocolate with a splash of mint red on the obverse. Sharply struck EDS.

1854 C-1 R1+ MS63

Bright original mint red just starting to mellow on the highpoints to light steel brown, about 80% of the original color remaining. Would rate a higher grade but there are a half dozen spots of dark toning on the obverse, plus a swipe of similar toning on the rim at star 1-3, MDS, Manley state 1.0 late.

 1856 C-1 R1 PCGS MS63 BN

$350.00

Glossy bluish steel brown with traces of mint red on both sides. There is a small nick on the nose and a few more in the field to the left, but overall the surfaces are satiny and very attractive. The dentils at star 3 are weak thanks to a very minor planchet clip. Manley state 2.0, without the rust lump on I un UNITED. EAC grade MS60.
