Lot Description

Lot 297 1855 C-1 R1 NGC graded MS65 Red.Lustrous bright original mint red just starting to mellow to light steel brown on the highpoints, about 85% of the original red remaining on both sides. There are very faint traces of an old fingerprint in the field from star 1 to the neck and another in the field over HALF, but these certainly do not catch your eye. A tiny speck of darker toning in the dentils under the left edge of the 8 can help identify this piece. MDS with fine radial die flowlines in the fields. An impressive, original half cent. Perfect for a high-quality type or date set. Our grade is MS64.Estimate Value $2,500 - UP
