LOT 558 1850 N-21 R2 MS64. Lustrous mint red fading to steel brown with mellowed mint red covering a third of the planchet. The surfaces are satiny and virtually flawless. The only defects are a small, shallow planchet flake in the field above the left side of star 12 and a couple microscopic ticks on the truncation. The surfaces are completely void of spots or carbon flecks. Worthy of gem status if not for the small mint-made planchet flake. LDS, die state c, with two clearly defined rim cuds on the reverse (Newcomb’s #10).

LOT 561 Pair of 1850 Cents grading EF40. Includes N-17 R5 VEDS (a early), and N-25 R4 MDS. Both are five points sharper with minor defects and have frosty light brown and olive toning. Lot of 2 coins.
