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. Ex Del Bland-Alan Meghrig 1/31/1987-Del Bland (includes the Bland collection envelope and his provenance notes). Categories: Liberty Cents
