Lot 502
1826 C-1 R1. PCGS graded MS-62 Brown. Lustrous light steel brown blending to chocolate brown toning on the highpoints with frosty lighter golden brown and tan toning in protected areas, especially on the reverse. Just a hint of friction on the highest points from mint state. A faint hairline scratch under the left foot of the first A in AMERICA is the only mark, and it is barely visible with a glass. MDS Manley state 3.0. The die crack from the bust tip to star 1 now branches through star 2 to star 3, and several of the die file lines from the top of the head over LI are still clearly visible. The obverse fields are hard and slightly reflective thanks to a fresh die polishing and the reverse is rotated 20 degrees CCW. A sharp, very attractive half cent. Our grade is AU58. Noyes photo #74338. The attribution and Widok Collection provenance are noted on the PCGS label. PCGS population 4; 10 finer. (PCGS # 35252) Value $1,200 - UP
