LOT 67 1808 C-3 R1 AU58 PCGS. Frosty light chocolate with tan in protected areas and slightly darker steel brown toning on the highpoints. The only significant defects are a small splash of dark mahogany at the left wreath stem and a smaller one at ST, and these areas show microscopic roughness. Otherwise the planchet is smooth with trivial marks and the eye appeal is quite nice, especially on the obverse. E-MDS, Manley state 2.0 early, Fuhrman state 1 late, with very light streaks of die rust in the field above the end of the bust. Struck with the reverse rotated about 160 degrees clockwise. Our grade is AU50. 1107.58/81233682 $4,250 Ex Chris McCawley 6/2/2017-The J. Torres Collection of Half Cents
