Lot 219
1850 N-18 R3 PCGS graded MS64 Brown. Lustrous light olive and chocolate brown with traces of faded mint color showing on both sides. The only notable marks are a faint diagonal hairline scratch in the field right of stars 1 & 2 and a dull nick on the left end of the eyebrow. Sharply struck LDS, die state b. The die lines from the dentils over star 7 are gone. A nice example of this tough die variety. Our grade is MS60, CC#5 in the Grellman census. The attribution and Iskra provenance are noted on the PCGS label. PCGS population 2; none finer for the variety at PCGS. Estimated Value $500-UP
