Description

1850 1C PR64 Brown PCGS. N-11, R.7 as a Proof. A very rare proof date. A couple of N-9 proof cents are confirmed, but most proof 1850 cents are N-11. N-11 is attributed by its far left date placement, along with a diagonal die line over the the left top of the N in CENT. Only three specimens have appeared in Heritage auctions over the past ten years, two pedigreed to the Norweb and Pittman collections, and the third from a September 2005 Stack's auction. This is a sharply struck Choice cent with olive-brown, peach-gold, and rose-red patina. A narrow strike-through above the O in ONE provides an identifier. Our EAC grade PR62. Population: 1 in 64 Brown, 1 finer (6/21).
