Lot 969
1850 N-1 R2 PCGS graded MS65 Red. Blazing bright original mint red, virtually as fresh as the day it was struck. As close to 100% mint red as you could hope to find. A very light abrasion between the date and star 13 and another close over star 12 are the only marks of any significance on this remarkable cent. Better to look for yourself than read a bunch of words that would most likely fall short of the mark. E-MDS, die state a, with fine die lines from the dentils to AMERIC. Called MS67 and CC#1 by 4 points over the next finest in the Noyes census, his photo #30525. Our grade is MS66, CC#1 in the Grellman census. Called "MS-70 Blazer" by Ted Naftzger.
Estimated Value $2,000-UP.
