Lot 507
1850 N-2 R1 Repunched 1 PCGS graded MS63 Brown. Frosty medium steel brown and light chocolate with traces of faded mint color showing on both sides, mostly on the reverse. This cent is choice except for a diagonal nick under the eye and a spot of shallow carbon on the rim above star 6. Neither mark is distracting and the eye appeal of this cent is excellent. Rare VEDS, die state a. The obverse fields are smooth, repunching is clearly visible on the 1, diagonal die lines cover most of the fields on the lower half of the obverse, and the reverse is uncracked. Our grade is MS60. The attribution and Tucker provenance are noted on the PCGS label. PCGS population 2; 3 finer, 1 in 64, 2 in 65 for the variety. Estimate Value $400 - UP
