1853 C-1 R1 NGC graded MS67 Brown. Very attractive lustrous bluish steel and olive with 5-10% of the faded mint red remaining visible on both sides.

The die line through the first T in STATES is dull but still visible. Our grade is MS64. The attribution is shown on the NGC label.
Estimated Value $2,000-UP.
