Description
Wonderful C-1, B-1 1855 Half Cent, MS65 Red and Brown
1855 1/2 C MS65 Red and Brown PCGS. C-1, B-1, R.1. The Mint significantly scaled back production of half cents beginning in the mid-1830s, and in 1855 only 56,000 pieces were struck. This delightful specimen features a 50/50 mix of red and brown on the obverse, while the reverse exhibits mostly bright red luster throughout. The stars are a little soft, as often seen, but the rest of the details are sharply defined. A number of microscopic flecks keep this unmarked Gem out of an even higher grade. EAC 64. Population: 18 in 65 Red and Brown, 0 finer (6/08).(Registry values: P1)Coin Index Numbers: (PCGS# 1234, GSID# 679)
