1840 B-1 Half Cent, PR62 Brown
Ex: Reiver, Original

1840 1/2 C Original PR62 Brown PCGS. B-1, R.5. Ex: Jules Reiver Collection. The Original 1840 and 1841 half cents can be considered reeded edge half cents. Apparently all planchets were prepared with a reeded edge, and then coined in a plain collar, crushing the edge reeding. Some examples still exist with traces of the edge reeding visible. Approximately 15 to 20 examples are known in a wide range of quality. This piece is muted with moderately reflective surfaces. All of the design elements are boldly defined, and the surfaces have deep olive-brown color with hints of pale blue toning. Scattered contact marks are visible on each side. Our EAC grade PR60.
