1842 B-2 Half Cent, PR65 Red and Brown
First Restrike

1842 1/2 C First Restrike, B-2, R.6, PR65 Red and Brown PCGS. Possibly as many as two dozen 1842 First Restrike half cents are known today, and few can equal the present Red and Brown Gem. The PCGS CoinFacts Condition Census for 1842 Restrike half cents enumerates one in PR66+ Red and Brown, two in PR66 Red and Brown, one graded PR66+ Brown, and two graded PR65 Red and Brown. This Gem has substantial rich orange mint color and bold design definition with splashes of blue and violet toning that enhance the eye appeal. In our Permanent Auction Archives, just five 1842 Restrike half cents of both varieties are finer, and those are all PR66 Red and Brown or Brown.
