1797 1C Reverse of 1797, Stems, S-123, B-12, R.4, MS65 Red and Brown PCGS. CAC. Ex: Bender Collection. Breen Die State II. The initial orange-red color is extensive across this lustrous Gem, although high points such as the cheek and shoulder have toned Brown. The reverse appears unabraded, and the obverse shows only a brief narrow line on the left field, as well as minor flan imperfections on the cheek and behind the eye. As of (10/22), PCGS has certified one example as S-123 in MS65 Red and Brown, but no other examples as S-123 in Red and Brown, and no Brown examples as S-123 above MS64.
