1850 N-13 R3+ PCGS graded MS64 Red.
1850 N-13 R3+ PCGS graded MS64 Red. Lustrous mint red fading to light steel brown on the highpoints, 95% of the bright mint color remaining on the obverse, 85% of the very slightly faded red showing on the reverse. Flawless except for some small spots of darker steel toning scattered over the obverse, the notable ones left of star 3, on the cheek, and inside the bottom of the 5. Great eye appeal; a gem cent. MDS, die state b. The die cracks around the reverse legend are clear and the legend is clearly sinking as the field rises around the wreath and letters. The die lines on the obverse remain easily visible, including the peak of the stray 1 left of the 8. Called MS65 and tied for CC#1 in the Noyes census, his photo #30618. Our grade is MS66, CC#1 in the Grellman census.
Estimated Value $1,000-UP.
