Description

1850 Newcomb-13 Cent
MS66 ★ Red and Brown

1850 1C MS66 ★ Red and Brown NGC. N-13, R.4. Our EAC Grade MS63. Grellman Die State a, "rare." The elusive initial die state with myriad fine die lines over ERIC and no reverse die cracks. A good strike despite a few soft star centers. Orange-red is plentiful, particularly on the obverse, though the fields inside the wreath and above Liberty's hair are partly brown. A loupe fails to locate remotely mentionable contact. One small spot is near 6 o'clock on the reverse. As of (12/13), NGC has certified just five 1850 cents with a Star designation, 3 as MS66 Brown and 2 as MS66 Red and Brown.
