1850 N-15 R1 AU55. Mint state sharpness but there are a dozen tiny spots of lighter and darker toning sprinkled over the obverse, none distracting but too may to ignore for a mint state cent. Lustrous reddish brown and light chocolate with traces of faded mint red peeking through on both sides. A tiny planchet flake right of the inner curl and a shallow low spot near the ribbon under EN in CENT are good identifying marks, both as struck. EDS, die state a. The fine die lines over star 5 are clear and the fields are smooth. Estimated Value $150-UP.
