Description

1856 E1/2C Half Cent, Judd-177, Pollock-205, R.5, PR61 PCGS. Regular die trials striking for the Half Cent. Struck in copper-nickel with a plain edge. An important metallurgical trial strike that tested the proposed alloy for the Flying Eagle Cents which were struck later in this same year. Obviously cleaned at one time, the surfaces are bright as a result, and light tan-gold color overall. A couple of very light grease stains (as struck) are seen across the face of Liberty.
