Important Old Provenance

1832 1/2 C C-1, B-1, R.2, MS65 Red and Brown PCGS. CAC. Ex: Eliasberg. Breen Die State III. Manley lists only one die state. This piece has an extremely faint die crack from the border through the right side of the A in STATES. Described as perfect dies in the Eliasberg catalog, and very nearly so. This lovely Gem, housed in a green-label PCGS holder, features a bold strike and delicate blue toning (mottled on the reverse) on its lustrous deep orange surfaces. PCGS has certified two examples of the 1832 in MS65 Red and Brown, along with three others grades MS66 Brown. There are no 1832 half cents that have achieved the full red designation. Our EAC grade MS63.
