1825 C-2, B-2, MS64 Brown
From the Newcomb and Green Collections

1825 1/2 C C-2, B-2, R.1, MS64 Brown PCGS. CAC. Ex: Missouri Cabinet. Fuhrman Die State 4 and the plate coin for that die state where this late state is rated R.7. Sharply defined, this piece exhibits fully lustrous chocolate-brown and blue-steel surfaces with substantial underlying faded mint red. Any 1825 half cent of either variety that retains so much as a trace of mint red is extremely important and this piece has more than most. Although designated Brown, this piece has excellent eye appeal rivaling the McGuigan coin that is certified as MS64 Red and Brown. Population 33 in 64 (1 in 64+) Brown, 8 finer (11/23).
Ex: Howard Rounds Newcomb (privately via B. Max Mehl, 1935); Col. E.H.R. Green (6/8/1936); Green Estate (4/1943); Eric P. Newman and B.G. Johnson; Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society; R. Tettenhorst; Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society; Missouri Cabinet (Goldberg Auctions, 1/2014), lot 108; Bruce Gimelson.
