Description
1849 C-1, B-4 Half Cent, MS65 Brown
The Partrick Collection Large Date Proof
1849 Large Date, C-1, B-4, R.2, MS65 Brown NGC. CAC. Our
EAC grade MS60. 78.7 grains. Breen Die State II. Manley Die
State 2.0. This is the Breen Half Cent Encyclopedia
three-inch plate on page 432. The Breen-Hanson Condition Census
records three proof examples of the 1849 Large Date half cent,
including this example, another offered by New England Rare Coin
Auctions in December 1976 that is thought to be the Thomas Cleneay
coin sold in 1890, and a third that was in the May 1906 Chapman
Brothers sale of the Harlan Page Smith Collection as part of a
complete copper and silver set. The Smith coin has not been seen
since that time.Hints of greenish-gold toning appear on the reflective light brown surfaces of this example. NGC disagrees with the proof status of this coin as does the present cataloger. The strike is inconsistent with any of the proof-only half cents; however, others may arrive at a different conclusion. Regardless, it is an extremely important entry into the late series of Braided Hair half cents. Census: 8 in MS65 Brown, 1 finer (3/21).
Ex: Walter Breen Collection (1/1/1968); Jon Hanson; Donald G. Partrick. The Breen-Hanson Condition Census suggests that this piece is thought to be Ex: Joseph J. Mickley (W. Elliot Woodward, 10/1867), lot 2120, where it was called "a proof impression and the only one I have ever met with;" Sylvester Sage Crosby (J.W. Haseltine, 6/1883), lot 1700, as "Uncirculated. Has been a proof, but surface dulled."
