Description
Exceedingly Rare 1849 Proof Half Cent, First Restrike
1849 1/2 C Restrike PR 63 Red PCGS. B-2, High R.6. A First Restrike, this coin displays a small date, large berries in the reverse wreath, and doubling on the T in CENT. Deep cherry-red color overlays both sides of this seemingly conservatively graded specimen. There are no singularly mentionable hairlines or contact marks, and the devices display the exactness of strike that one would expect of proof production methods. Glints of reflectivity are evident in the fields at certain angles. In his encyclopedia of United States half cents, Breen includes only 13 coins in his census for this issue.Coin Index Numbers: (PCGS# 1307)
Weight: 5.44 grams
