Description

1848 1C PR65 Brown PCGS. N-19, Low R.6. Possibly a High R.5 proof-only variety, there are about 30 confirmed proof examples known from this die marriage, the only pair of dies known to strike 1848-dated proofs. At least four of the known survivors are circulated or impaired proofs. This Gem combines deep blue patina with faded orange on the obverse, additional violet and rose appearing on the reverse. Faint hairlines are evident in the interior fields of the reverse, with both sides showing satin surfaces and hints of mirrored reflectivity. Our EAC grade PR60.
