Description

1855 1/2 C MS 64 Red and Brown. The public's growing disdain toward the half cent during the 1850s is well mirrored in this issue's paltry delivery of 56,500 pieces. Poorly defined on the denticles, the central features are, nonetheless, crisply delineated. The predominantly cherry-red surfaces are interrupted by scattered carbon spots that include a sizeable one within the reverse wreath.
