Lot 1006
1850 N-22 R3+ PCGS graded MS65 Red & Brown. Lustrous mint red fading to light steel brown on the highpoints. A third of the mint color remains intact on this very impressive cent. The only marks are a small spot of darker toning midway between stars 12 & 13 and a few tiny ticks on the chin. LDS, die state c, with all the fine die lines now gone and a small lump on the leaf under the U in UNITED. The obverse fields are smooth and very slightly reflective thanks to a fresh die polishing. Great eye appeal. Called MS63 and tied for CC#1 in the Noyes census, his photo #30576. Our grade is MS65, CC#1 in the Grellman census.
Estimated Value $1,000-UP.
