190
1834 C-1 R1 ANACS graded AU55
. Clipped Planchet. Very
attractive frosty light olive brown and chocolate. Sharply struck
with just a hint of friction on the highest points of the devices.
The only defect is a short, light scratch from the bust tip to the
field close above star 1. EDS, Manley state 1.0, before any die
clashmarks. An incipient rim clip weakens the dentils over RI in
AMERICA.
Our grade is AU50.

it may be, is noted on the ANACS label.

1835 C-1 R1 PCGS graded MS63 Red,
CAC APPROVED

brown with 75% of the red remaining on the obverse and 95%
on the reverse. The only marks are some tiny specks of dark
toning on the obverse and a significant carbon spot between
the date and star 13. Otherwise this piece is a gem and the
reverse is flawless. Housed in an old green-label PCGS holder.
E-MDS, Manley state 1.0, with light die clashmarks on both
sides. The reverse is rotated 25 degrees CW. Most likely from
the Elmer Sears hoard that was discovered around 1935.
