Lot 972
1850 N-2 R1 PCGS graded MS65 Brown. Repunched 1. Attractive glossy chocolate and steel brown with 20% of the bright original mint color showing, mostly on the reverse. There are some small splashes of darker olive brown toning around the date and field over the bust; otherwise this cent is void of notable marks. MDS, die state c, with a die crack through the top of TED to the dentils over the adjacent S. The die lines in the obverse fields remain clear but the repunching on the 1 is dull. Called MS63 and tied for CC#1 in the Noyes census, his photo #30574. Our grade is MS63, tied for CC#2 in the Grellman census. Comes with a handwritten note from Howard Newcomb.
Estimated Value $500-UP.
