Description

1855 C-1, B-1 Half Cent, MS66 Red and Brown
Exquisite Surfaces

1855 1/2 C C-1, B-1, R.1, MS66 Red and Brown NGC. A hoard of mint red 1855 half cents supplied many high grade examples available today. However, this piece appears to have a different source, perhaps surviving through generations of coin collectors. Unlike the spotted hoard coins, this brilliant Premium Gem retains considerable red mint color without the usual myriad spots. A single carbon spot is noted inside the upper wreath on the reverse of this lovely piece that is tied for the finest numerically in any color designation. Census: 5 in 66 Red and Brown, 0 finer (8/22).
