Lot 353
1850 N-12 R1 MS65. Lustrous mint red just starting to mellow to light steel brown on the highest points, about 90% of the mint color remaining. No notable marks or other defects. A small spot of steel toning at the dentil tips between the tip of the wreath ribbon and the adjacent U is a good identifying mark. M-LDS, die state b early. The point from the left side of the C in CENT is short but remains visible and the tiny lump on the rim over the right edge of the D in UNITED is present. A beautiful, totally original cent. Tied for CC#3 in the Grellman census.
Estimated Value $1,000-UP.
