1850 N-9 R2 PCGS graded MS66 Brown.
1850 N-9 R2 PCGS graded MS66 Brown. Lustrous light olive and chocolate with subtle overtones of bluish steel covering the fields. Mint red covers 20% of the obverse, but only faint traces of the mint color remain on the reverse. The eye appeal of this cent is very nice. Just a few minor marks, including a couple microscopic ticks around the throat and a spot of slightly darker chocolate toning at the forelock. MDS, die state b. A die crack passes through the top of ME to the dentils over the adjacent A, and the die lines from the dentils left of star 6 are still visible. Called MS61 and tied for CC#15 in the Noyes census, his photo #55125. Our grade is MS63, tied for CC#12 in the Grellman census.
Estimated Value $750-UP.
