Description

1834 C-1, B-1 Half Cent, MS65 Red
Important Early Die State

1834 1/2 C C-1, B-1, R.1, MS65 Red PCGS. CAC. Breen Die State I. Manley Die State 1.0. This piece is an early circulation strike from the single known 1834 die pair. Breen noted that proofs and the "earliest business strikes" were examples of this die state, with only proofs known for his Die State II. That statement implies that Breen Die State I examples are rare. However, Manley describes the first die state as "Common." This lovely example, housed in a green-label PCGS holder, has slight brown mellowing on its rich orange mint surfaces with full cartwheel luster. This example is the finest of just three 1834 half cents designated Red. Our EAC grade MS64.
