Description

1845 B-3 Half Cent, PR67 Brown
Second Restrike
The Finest Certified 1845 Half Cent

1845 1/2 C Second Restrike PR67 Brown NGC. B-3, Low R.6. The 1845 Second Restrike half cent is seen with more frequency than the Original or First Restrike proofs of its date. Close to 30 examples of this Second Restrike survive, although few are the equal of this specimen. In fact, this is the only PR67-certified 1845 half cent at NGC or PCGS, regardless of variety or color designation (12/13).

Certified as a Superb Gem proof, this piece is designated as a Brown example but retains considerable faded mint red, especially on the reverse, with fully mirrored fields and a pinpoint strike. Our EAC grade PR63.
