1850 N-21 R1 PCGS graded MS64 Brown
. Glossy light to
medium chocolate brown with 10% of the mint red remaining.
Satiny mint frost covers the fields and protected areas. No spots
or stains, only a few tiny ticks at the chin. Rare E-MDS, die state
a late. The die lines from the dentils between stars 2 & 3 are
dull but visible, and the usually seen rim cud breaks on the
reverse have not formed.
Our grade is MS62.
Not is the over-
all condition census for the variety but one of the finest seen in
the early state.
Estimated Value .......................................................$500-UP

1850 N-21 R1 MS63
. Choice lustrous steel brown and light
chocolate with delicate hints of light bluish steel overtone and
underlying faded mint color showing through in the fields and
protected areas. No spots or stains; essentially flawless. The
only marks, and they are barely visible with a glass, are a tiny
tick on the rim at star 4 and a microscopic planchet flake under
the N in CENT (as struck). LDS, die state c, with two rim cud
breaks on the reverse (Newcomb's #10). A beautiful example of
a common die state.
Estimated Value .......................................................$300-UP

771
1850 N-21 R1 MS63
. Choice lustrous light steel brown with
underlying faded mint red showing through the toning in the
fields and protected areas on both sides. Virtually mark-free to
the unaided eye, but a glass reveals a few microscopic specks
of darker toning, including one right of the nostril. A very light
scuff that barely breaks the frost in the field between stars 1 &
2 and a tiny nick on the rim over the first T in STATES are the
best identifying marks. LDS, die state c, with two clearly defined
rim cud breaks on the reverse (Newcomb's old #10). A nice
example of this common die state.
Estimated Value .......................................................$300-UP
