Lot 756
1850 N-9 R2 AU55. A lustrous mint state cent but there are a few dark spots on both sides, including a swipe of dark olive toning just right of the upper lip and a bit of very fine carbon in the field just left of the date. Otherwise this piece is an attractive frosty steel brown with generous traces of faded mint color in protected areas, especially on the reverse. LDS, die state c. The die lines from the dentils left of star 6 have been polished off the die and the die crack at ME is clear.
Estimated Value $150-UP.
