LOT 171 1856 C-1 R1 PCGS graded MS64 Brown, CAC Approved. Lustrous light olive and steel brown with 20% of the planchet showing mint color, mostly on the reverse. Must have been very close to getting an “RB” designation. There are a few tiny ticks on the cheek and some minor specks of dark toning on the obverse. A speck of fine carbon at the dentils under the 18 is the only mark visible to the unaided eye. LDS, Fuhrman 2, Manley 2.0. The lump on the I in UNITED is gone. Our grade is MS63. 1236.64/37158080

LOT 173 Blank Planchet for Half Cent, Stage II, PCGS graded MS62 Brown. Frosty medium brown. NO spots, stains, or notable marks (other than the usual small chips always present prior to striking). The rims are upset (stage II of the process). Those upset rims are relatively narrow which suggests (but does not confirm) the planchet was intended for the half cents of 1803 1836. Our grade is MS60. The Type II Planchet and 5.4 grams weight (83.3 grains) are noted on the PCGS label E11112.62/33618754
