1833 C-1, B-1 Half Cent, MS66 Red and Brown

1833 1/2 C C-1, B-1, R.1 MS66 Red and Brown NGC. CAC. Our EAC Grade MS64. Manley Die State 2.0 with light clash marks on the obverse, and heavy reverse clash marks inside the wreath. This is the usual die state. An exquisitely struck and carefully preserved Premium Gem with lustrous, luminous copper-gold and powder-blue patina. Struck from clashed dies. NGC has certified nine examples finer than MS65, including two MS66 Red and Brown and one MS67 Brown. PCGS has certified five in MS66 Brown and one MS66 Red and Brown, the best they have encountered. (4/14). This example possibly stems from the Depression-era Guttag Brothers hoard of several hundred Mint State pieces.
