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

1833 1/2 C C-1, B-1, R.1, MS66 Red and Brown PCGS. CAC. Manley Die State 2.0. The 1833 half cent was set aside in moderate quantity at the time of issue, and examples can be acquired with relative ease in MS62 through MS64 grades. But at the MS66 level, the date becomes a formidable condition rarity. PCGS has certified only nine pieces as MS66, six as Brown and three as Red and Brown. None have been certified by PCGS in MS67 or finer grades. The present Premium Gem is a splendid Classic Head type coin. The stars and legends exhibit orange-red, while open areas and high points are medium brown. The devices are crisply struck, and contact is limited to a few small ticks above the E in CENT. The portrait shows only a couple of minute flecks.
