Lot 1014
1850 N-27 R4 PCGS graded MS64 Red & Brown. Lustrous steel and light olive brown with nearly a third of the mint red remaining, mostly on the obverse. A spot of reddish chocolate toning over star 9, another at the dentils under the right side of the 8 in the date, and a third on the bust tip are the notable marks, and they do catch your eye. There are a few other smaller spots of dark toning elsewhere on the obverse, but they are not significant. The reverse is choice, nearly flawless. MDS. Called MS60 and CC#2 in the Noyes census, his photo #29938. Our grade is MS62, CC#2 in the Grellman census. Both census takers list only 2 examples in mint state grades, and the next best grades only AU50.
Estimated Value $1,000-UP.
