1851 C-1 R1. PCGS graded MS-63 Brown. Repunched Second 1. Lustrous medium brown and light chocolate with delicate hints of bluish steel overtone in the fields and a couple peeps of faded mint color showing on the obverse. The toning on the upper right of the reverse is a slightly darker shade of chocolate brown than the rest of the planchet. No spots or stains, only a few microscopic contact marks scattered over both sides. Sharply struck MDS with slightly reflective fields thanks to a fresh die polishing. Great eye appeal for the grade. The repunching right of the second 1 in the date is sharp. Our grade is MS60+.
Estimated Value $250-UP.
