Description
1843 B-1a Original Half Cent, PR58
Deep Brown and Blue Patina
1843 1/2 C Original PR58 NGC. B-1a, R.6. Two different die
states are described in Breen's Half Cent Encyclopedia for
the Large Berries proofs, and classified as Originals or Series VII
Restrikes depending on the die state, early or late respectively.
The only difference between the die states involves short die file
marks near stars 2 and 12, either bold or faint. Breen also
discusses early and late reverse states, and refers the reader to
page 424 of his reference, but page 424 describes an entirely
different die.This piece appears to be an earlier die state with bold obverse file marks. The coin is boldly struck with dark brown and blue surfaces, slightly lighter on the reverse. The fields are slightly reflective, and the overall appearance is pleasing. Our EAC grade PR55.
