Lot 1008
1850 N-23 R2 PCGS graded MS66 Red & Brown. Lustrous mint red mellowing to light steel brown on the highpoints, 75% of the red remaining. The planchet is covered with satiny mint frost that is unbroken, and the eye appeal is fabulous. The only notable marks are two tiny specks of darker toning in the field before the front edge of the coronet and a tiny nick on the rim over the I in UNITED. E-MDS, die state a. The fields are now satiny rather than prooflike but the die line connecting the tops of the O & F has not formed. Called MS66 and CC#1 in the Noyes census, his photo #30626. Our grade is MS66, CC#1 in the Grellman census.
Estimated Value $2,000-UP.
