Lot 752
1850 N-3 R1 MS62. Lustrous glossy steel brown and chocolate with underlying faded mint color showing through in the fields and protected areas on both sides. The only marks, and they are barely visible, are a delicate spot of darker toning at the dentil tips under star 10 and a speck of similar toning close to the leaf over the left edge of the E in ONE. LDS, die state c. All the fine die lines seen in the earlier states are gone. A very attractive cent and it comes with an impressive provenance. Tied for CC#7 in the Grellman census.
Estimated Value $500-UP.
