Description

1842 50C MS 61 NGC. With attractively toned faces, this example evidences eye appeal that would do justice to a significantly higher grade designation. The obverse displays deep lavender-gray toning with blushes of blue patina about the denticles. In stark contrast, the reverse is essentially untoned save for extensive cobalt-blue highlights about both the denticles and devices. Quite well impressed for an early Seated issue, a few moderate abrasions throughout the reverse field account for the basal Mint State designation. Despite its availability through the AU 58 grade tier, this P-mint delivery is only infrequently encountered in strictly Uncirculated levels of preservation.
