Lot 997
1850 N-15 R2 PCGS graded MS65 Red & Brown. Lustrous slightly mellowed mint red fading to light olive and steel brown, more than half the red showing, mostly on the reverse. Nearly flawless in every way, and the eye appeal is outstanding. A bit of darker toning surrounds the R in LIBERTY, a few microscopic ticks on the front edge of the nose, and a speck of darker toning in the field off the peak of the 1 are good identifying marks. E-MDS, die state a. The diagonal die lines over star 5 and the points from ON and CEN are clear. Called MS64 and CC#4 in the Noyes census, his photo #30475. Our grade is MS65, tied for CC#2 in the Grellman census.
Estimated Value $1,000-UP.
