***Auction Highlight*** 1850 N-23 Braided Hair Large Cent 1c Graded Select Proof RB BY USCG. HIGHLIGHT of THE ENTIRE AUCTION : For Large Cent Collectors this may be the Highlight of a Lifetime. To date only 8 1850 Proof Struck Cents have been identified. 1 is a Newcomb-9 Variety and the other 7 are Newcomb-11 varieties. No other Proof 1850 has surfaced, until today. We are proud to bring you an 1850 Proof Coin, long held in a Private collection. It is the Newcomb 23, with the distinctive open 5 in the date and the Curved line between the T & Y in Liberty. This Numismatic rarity is the ONLY known Newcomb 23 to have been struck as a Proof Issue and it is now the 9th Proof 1850 known. The Fields are mirror like and very reflective. The Devices very sharply struck. There is some weakness on stars 2 & 3 but otherwise all the stars are fully formed. The date is sharp and crisp. A full wire rim encircles the coin, and the edges are well squared. A true numismatic Rarity and a Sight to behold. I wish you the Greatest of Luck in obtaining this rare and unique Proof 1850 Large Cent, one of 9 Proofs known. The Last Proof 1850 sold at auction for 14,400 in 2020. I am including a picture of that coin, as well as the two that sold for $8,813 and $8225 in 2017 and 2016 A Corey's Pick, Bid to Win, Don't let it get Away, you might not find its equal Coin. I give this coin my highest recommendation
