Lot 1011
1850 N-25 R4- PCGS graded MS66 Brown. Highly lustrous dark bluish steel and rose faded down from mint red, perhaps 15% of the planchet showing some of the very faded mint color. The satiny mint frost is unbroken and this cent offers outstanding eye appeal. The only mark is a very faint hairline in the field between star 1 and the throat. Sharply struck with crisp details throughout. MDS. Called MS65 and tied for CC#2 in the Noyes census, his photo #30568. Our grade is MS66, tied for CC#1 in the Grellman census.
Estimated Value $1,000-UP.
