Lot 415
1850 N-21 R2+ MS63. Frosty light steel brown with 15% of the mint red remaining, mostly on the obverse. The only marks are a tiny speck of darker toning in the dentils over star 4, a very light contact mark near the dentils left of star 1, and a tiny rim nick at the U in UNITED. The surfaces are satiny and lustrous with excellent eye appeal. Sharp EDS, die state a, with fine die lines from the dentils left of star 2. Not in the overall condition census thanks to a large hoard of late state examples, but this cent is tied for second finest of the scarce early die state. Removed from a PCGS slab graded MS64RB (PCGS label included). DWH #2144.
Estimated Value $400-UP.
