Description

1835 C-1, B-1 Half Cent, MS64 Red
Probable 1930s Hoard Coin

1835 1/2 C C-1, B-1, R.1, MS64 Red PCGS. Fuhrman Die State 1, with light obverse and reverse clash marks. Walter Breen wrote in his Half Cent Encyclopedia of a hoard of 1835 half cents that Elmer Sears discovered about 1935: "This hoard consisted of at least one bag of a thousand spotty mint red examples." Based on that description, we believe that this coin was one of the hoard pieces having essentially full red color save for some dark spots on the obverse. Population: 35 in 64 (3 in 64+) Red, 7 finer (11/23).
