Description

1842 1/2 C Restrike PR65 Red and Brown PCGS. B-3, R.7. The die file marks on the reverse above RICA and the small berries are keys to attribution, as is the tiny die lump on the outside point of star 4. These restrike half cents are rare and have been eagerly sought by collectors for decades. This piece shows well-contrasted surfaces, with reflective reddish-purple fields and mostly brown high points. A small dotlike impression on the reverse below the F in HALF and a tiny carbon spot on the obverse rim just below star 1 are pedigree markers. Our EAC grade PR63. Population: 2 in 65 Red and Brown, 1 finer (7/19).
