Description
Outstanding PR66 ★ 1841 Half Cent
Original Dies, Large Berries, B-1
1841 1/2 C Original PR66 ★ Brown NGC. Large Berries. B-1,
R.5. Breen State III with a slender obverse die crack between 9 and
12 o'clock. As of (3/10), this is the single highest NGC-graded
1841 Large Berries half cent. This fully struck Premium Gem
displays dazzling field reflectivity. Inspection beneath a lens
fails to locate even the most trivial hairlines or carbon spots.
Designated as Brown, but when the piece is rotated beneath a light,
brick-red iridescence dominates the reverse and outlines the
obverse legends and stars. The open fields and Liberty's face and
neck exhibit consistent gunmetal-blue toning. A remarkable specimen
of this early date, one that would be the centerpiece of nearly any
collection of proof half cents. MRB PR63.(Registry values: P2)Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 26Z6, PCGS# 1254, Greysheet# 588)
Weight: 5.44 grams
