Description
1856 C-1, B-2a Half Cent, MS62 Red and Brown
Called Proof in Norweb
1856 C-1, B-2a, R.1, MS62 Red and Brown NGC. Our EAC
grade AU50. 84.8 grains. Walter Breen called this a proof and
included the coin in his Half Cent Encyclopedia. The Norweb
cataloger described this piece as: "The discovery Proof specimen of
this variety." The present cataloger agrees with the opinion of Jon
Hanson that this coin is not a proof. The mirrored surfaces are
reddish-orange with dappled brown, although the strike is not
consistent with proof strikes.Ex: Thomas L. Elder (11/12/1909); Emery May Norweb; Norweb Family Collection (Bowers and Merena, 10/1987), lot 137; Jon Hanson; Donald G. Partrick.
