Lot 984
1850 N-7 R2 PCGS graded MS63 Red & Brown. Lustrous mint red mellowing to light steel brown, about 80% of the red showing. There are a half dozen small spots of brown toning scattered over the obverse plus a faint swipe of similar toning extending down the neck. A small spot of very fine carbon in the dentils under the 0 in the date is a good identifying mark for this cent. M-LDS, die state b, the usual hoard die state for this variety. The die lines at the inner curl are weak but still visible and the obverse fields are slightly rough from die wear. Called MS63 and tied for CC#13 in the Noyes census, his photo #55056. Our grade is MS64, tied for CC#9 in the Grellman census.
Estimated Value $400-UP.
