Lot 992
1850 N-13 R3+ PCGS graded "Genuine." Very attractive glossy light chocolate and steel brown with satiny mint frost showing in protected areas on both sides. This cent is choice except for a small splash of darker chocolate toning on the B in LIBERTY into the hair below and a small diagonal nick off the tip of the nose. E-MDS, die state b early. Fine die cracks pass through the top of the much of the reverse legend outside the wreath, and that legend is starting to sink. The peak of the stray 1 at the left of the 8 is obvious and the fine die lines from the dentils under star 13 are clear. Called AU55 and tied for CC#11 in the Noyes census, his photo #55024. Our grade is AU55, tied for CC#9 in the Grellman census.
Estimated Value $200-UP.
