1854 C-1 R1+ MS63+. Frosty mint red fading to light steel brown, at least a third of the mint color remaining on both sides. A beautiful, sharply struck half cent that is very close to MS64. The only mark of any significance is a small carbon spot in the dentils right of star 12. E-MDS, Manley state 1.0. The tiny dash left of the base of the 1 is clear and the rust lump on the top of the I in UNITED has not formed. Removed from an ANACS slab graded MS64RB (ANACS label included, #661058). Noyes photo #74322. Estimated Value $500-UP. Ex Colonel Steven Ellsworth, 2001 EAC Sale, McCawley & Grellman Auctions 3/31/2001:145 (where plated on the cover of that catalog).
