Description
1855 C-1 Half Cent, MS65+ Red
Outstanding Color and Quality
1855 1/2 C C-1, B-1, R.1, MS65+ Red PCGS. The 1855 half cent
has a mintage of only 56,500 pieces. Fortunately for collectors, a
number were set aside in Mint State. Most survivors are Brown, or
Red and Brown, and even examples graded Red tend to display spots
or carbon. The present virtually unmarked Gem displays abundant
orange-gold color with minimal hints of gunmetal-gray, primarily on
the obverse rim at 9 o'clock. As of (12/22), PCGS has certified
only eight examples as MS65+ Red, along with one finer as MS66
Red.Ex: Dallas Signature (Heritage, 11/2020), lot 3287.
