1850 N-6 R1 PCGS graded MS64 Red & Brown, CAC Approved. Lustrous original mint red fading to steel brown and light olive on the devices, nearly half the original color showing, mostly on the reverse. This cent offers outstanding eye appeal and is virtually flawless. A tiny tick on the nose off the end of the eyelash, a tiny diagonal planchet chip right of the nostril (as struck), and a microscopic speck of dark toning off the tip of the bust are the best identifying marks, and they are barely visible with a good glass. LDS, die state c. A die crack passes through the top of UNITE and extends to the dentils at both ends. Called MS64 and CC#1 in the Noyes census, his photo #30523. Our grade is MS64, CC#1 in the Grellman census. The attribution and Naftzger provenance are noted on the PCGS label. PCGS population 2; 2 finer in 65 for the variety. Estimate Value $1,500 - UP
