1834 C-1 R1 MS63. Very attractive lustrous light olive and chocolate with overtones of darker bluish steel on the reverse. About 25% of the planchet retains original mint red, mostly on the reverse. The fields are hard and slightly reflective thanks to new, nicely polished dies. This piece offers outstanding eye appeal for the grade. Would rate a higher grade if not for a couple small, dull contact marks well hidden in the lower curls and a tiny one in the field above the 4 in the date. Sharply struck EDS, Manley state 1.0, before any die clashmarks. Estimated Value $1,000-UP. Ex Barry Abrahms (as part of a 74-piece half cent sale) 5/15/2007-M. R. (Russ) Butcher 12/9/2009 (in a cash & trade deal). Categories: The Whister Collection
