Torres Half Cent Collection

LOT 40

1803 C-3 R2 MS62 Brown PCGS. Frosty light olive and steel brown with golden tan in many of the protected areas.

M-LDS, Manley state 4.0 late, Fuhrman state 4 late. The die polishing lines down to the left at various angles from IBE are fading away (weaker than on the previous lot), and a fine but clearly defined die crack that meanders from the rim to the top of the hair ribbon. Our grade is MS60.
