1850 N-23 R2 PCGS graded MS65 Brown. Lustrous steel brown and medium chocolate with subtle overtones of bluish steel. There are traces of mint red on the obverse and a third of the original mint red remaining on the reverse. The surfaces are covered with satiny mint luster and the eye appeal is outstanding. The only mark is a very tiny, faint nick in the field right of star 4. LDS, die state b, with a dull die line connecting the tops of the O & F in OF. Our grade is MS63, tied for CC#4 in the Grellman census. Comes with a nice provenance. The attribution and Tucker provenance are noted on the PCGS label. PCGS population 2; none finer for the variety. Estimate Value $750 - UP
