Lot 354
1851 C-1 R1 PCGS graded MS60 Brown. Chatter Strike. Frosty bluish steel brown with delicate overtones of sea green, especially on the reverse. A small planchet void in the field under star 3 is the only notable defect. Sharp, clear doubling (from die bounce) shows on most of the stars and on significant portions of the profile, but the date is not doubled. In addition, there appears to be a rim cud break from star 11 down to well beyond star 12. This is quite similar to the rim cud seen on the broadstruck 1851 offered a couple lots ago, but it may be a faux cud created by a planchet flaw. Our grade is MS60. Davy #51.1.17.
Estimated Value $300-UP.
