Bright copper-orange luster dominates the surfaces of this Gem Red
cent, with some peach infusions present in the centers.
Surprisingly smooth surfaces are coupled with pleasing portrait
detail. The dentils are weak on a significant portion of both
sides, but this is characteristic of the die state. The 1855 has
the largest number of Red-certified half cents of any date due to a
hoard found in the 1940s. Census: 14 in 65 (2 in 65+) Red, 0 finer
(11/25).Ex: Spring ANA Signature (Heritage, 3/2010), lot 85.
