Description

1852 B-2 Half Cent, PR65+ Brown
First Restrike

1852 1/2 C Small Berries, Reverse of 1856, First Restrike, B-2, R.4, PR65+ Brown PCGS. CAC. PCGS CoinFacts records a specific mintage figure of 60 proofs for the 1852 half cents, while their population report states that 60 or more are known today. The Bowers-Whitman Guide Book suggests a population of 100 to 125 known examples. Nevertheless, the present Gem ranks among the finer survivors and it is nearly equal to the PR66 Brown example from the James R. McGuigan collection that we sold in 2022. This sharply detailed example has lovely sea-green and gold toning that accompanies splashes of mint color on each side. Population: 11 in 65 (2 in 65+) Brown, 4 finer (11/23).
