Lot 1009
1850 N-23 R2 PCGS graded MS63 Red & Brown. Mellowed mint red shifting to light chocolate. About 80% of the obverse shows faded mint color while no more than half of the reverse displays any shade of red. Three spots of darker toning are located between stars 7 & 8, and these represent the only significant distraction on an otherwise very attractive cent. Sharply struck with full radial lines in all the stars and all the devices fully impressed. LDS, die state b. A dull line has been added that connects the tops of the O and F in OF. Called AU50 and tied for CC#19 in the Noyes census, his photo #30734. Our grade is MS63, tied for CC#4 in the Grellman census.
Estimated Value $400-UP.
