Lot 983
1850 N-7 R2 PCGS graded MS64 Red. Highly lustrous bright original mint red, a "blazer" in every respect. The only marks are some of the usual tiny specks of dark steel toning scattered over both sides and a tiny horizontal tick on the chin. A small spot of the darker toning on the T in LIBERTY can help identify this outstanding cent. M-LDS, die state b. The die lines at the inner curl are weak but visible and the obverse fields are slightly rough from die wear. This is the usual hoard die state for the variety, but this is one of the very finest examples from that hoard. Called MS67 and CC#2 in the Noyes census, his photo #30522. Our grade is MS66, CC#2 in the Grellman census.
Estimated Value $1,000-UP.
