Description

1849 C-1, B-4 Half Cent, MS64 Brown
Large Date

1849 Large Date, C-1, B-4, R.2, MS64 Brown NGC. CAC. Our EAC grade MS60. Breen Die State II. Manley Die State 2.0. This Choice Mint State piece displays a sharp strike for the 1849 issue, although the 8 in the date is indistinct. The pleasing chestnut-brown surfaces of this lovely piece exhibit faded mint red, especially on the reverse. Examples are rarely seen with any amount of red mint color. The 1849 Large Date half cent is an important issue as the first circulation strike coinage of Christian Gobrecht's Braided Hair design that is sometimes also called the Coronet Head design. Census: 39 in 64 Brown (1 in 64+ brown), 9 finer (3/21).
Ex: Jon Hanson; Donald G. Partrick.
