Lot 835
1850 N-22 R3+ PCGS graded MS66 Brown. Lustrous medium steel brown with 5% of the faded mint color remaining on both sides. The surfaces are satiny and the cent offers outstanding eye appeal. The only marks are a tiny tick on the end of the nose, a nick at the right bottom of the D in UNITED and a few microscopic specks of darker toning around AM in AMERICA. None of these marks is visible without the aid of a strong glass. M-LDS, die state b. The die lines from the dentils under star 1 are gone but the lump in the wreath under the U has not formed. Our grade is MS63, CC#4 in the Grellman census. The attribution is noted on the PCGS label. PCGS population 1; none finer at PCGS for the variety.
Estimated Value $1,000-UP.
