Lot 990
1850 N-12 R1 PCGS graded MS65 Red. Blazing bright mint red just beginning to mellow on the highest points of the design. Cartwheel luster covers the planchet and this cent offers fantastic eye appeal in every respect. No spots, only an extremely faint scuff that barely breaks the mint frost in the middle of the jawline and a couple extremely thin, barely visible diagonal contact marks in the field right of star 3. LDS, die state b. The points from C in CENT are gone. Called MS68 and CC#1 in the Noyes census, his photo #30930. Our grade is MS67, CC#1 in the Grellman census. Called MS70 by Ted Naftzger.
Estimated Value $3,000-UP.
