1835 C-2, B-2 Half Cent, MS64 Red
Brilliant Orange Luster

1835 1/2 C C-2, B-2, R.1, MS64 Red PCGS. CAC. Our EAC Grade MS64. An impressive near-Gem Classic Head half cent housed in a first-generation PCGS holder, this example of the 1835 issue exhibits lovely bright orange mint surfaces with bold design motifs. Both sides offer frosty luster with a splash of light brown toning on the reverse. A splendid example for type-coin purposes.

Variety: Manley Die State 3.0. Delicate clash marks appear with three distinct reverse die cracks.

Population Data (7/14): PCGS has certified 30 in MS64 Red and six finer MS65 Red examples.

Heritage Commentary: The two 1835 varieties are rated R.1, and either would serve for type collectors. The present Cohen-2 variant is slightly scarcer, in our opinion.

Provenance: Purchased from Jim McGuigan (11/2010).

Coin Index Numbers: (Variety PCGS# 35293, Base PCGS# 1170, Greysheet# 376123)

Weight: 5.44 grams

Metal: 100% Copper
