Description
C-1, B-1 1857 Half Cent, MS65 Red
Last Year of Denomination
1857 1/2 C MS65 Red PCGS. C-1, B-1, R.2. The sole
dies. The pumpkin-gold color is remarkably consistent for a copper
coin past its sesquicentennial. Only a hint of mellowing is
present, mostly on the central reverse field. The strike is crisp,
carbon is minor, and careful rotation yields only trivial surface
grazes. Condition Census quality. A low mintage date, since the
denomination ceased production relatively early in 1857. Both the
half cent and large cent were replaced by the small cent, since the
large diameter copper coins cost more than their face value to
produce. MRB MS64. Population: 2 in 65 Red, 0 finer
(7/10).(Registry values: P2)Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 26Z3, PCGS# 1241, GSID# 692)
