1855 C-1, B-1 Half Cent, MS65+ Red
Highly Graded Braided Hair Type Coin

1855 1/2 C C-1, B-1, R.1, MS65+ Red PCGS. A single die pair was used for half cent coinage in 1855. This Plus-graded Gem is tied for the finest in the Red category at PCGS. Luster abounds in bright copper-red hues, with frosty surfaces that show just a few traces of carbon. The obverse border dentils and some stars are weak, as is almost unavoidable on this issue. Our EAC grade MS65. Population: 44 in 65 (4 in 65+) Red, 0 finer (12/19).
