Lot 1007
1850 N-23 R2 PCGS graded MS66 Red & Brown. Beautiful and highly lustrous mint red faded to light olive and bluish steel on the devices, 25% of the bright mint color remaining on the obverse and more than half on the reverse. Great eye appeal with only a few trivial marks, including a tiny planchet flake in the field off the upper left point of star 7 (as struck). Sharply struck EDS, the earliest seen, die state a early. The fields are smooth and slightly reflective, and they are covered with microscopic die polishing lines. Called MS64 and CC#2 in the Noyes census, his photo #30785. Our grade is MS65, CC#2 in the Grellman census.
Estimated Value $1,000-UP.
