The quality of the image isn't good enough to do a complete attribution but it appears to be either a N-19 or a N-21 and I lean toward the 19. Both varieties are common.

Please do not let the populations deceive you. As Conder said, neither of these vareities are rare in the least. Keep in mind that practically all of these these coins are either raw or unattributed -- there is no compelling reason to have a common 1850 variety attributed...Mike

 

p.s. nice coin!
