Description
1831 C-1, B-1 Half Cent, PR45
Original, Reverse of 1831-1832
1831 1/2 C C-1, B-1, R.6, PR45 NGC. There has been
considerable recent controversy regarding the 1831 half cents.
Traditionally called a proof-only issue, although some believe that
both proofs and circulation strikes were issued. The number of
circulated pieces known is the reason that some suggest circulation
strikes were issued. They point to the 2,200 coin reported mintage
of half cents in 1831. Others believe that only proofs were coined,
following numismatic tradition, and write-off the 2,200-coin
mintage as pieces actually dated 1832. This chocolate-brown and
steel example has light wear, and no evidence of proof mirrors on
either side. Our EAC grade VF35 or PR35.Ex: William Cutler Atwater (B. Max Mehl, 6/1946), lot 153; Ben's Stamp & Coin Co.; Frank Rosa, Jr.; Raymond D. Munde (Superior, 2/1992), lot 328; Gene Braig; Mike Demling; Key Coin Coppers Collection (Stack's Bowers, 11/2011), lot 209.
