Description
1833 PR64 Brown Half Cent, C-1, Ex: Eliasberg
Popular Classic Design
1833 1/2 C PR64 Brown NGC. Ex: Eliasberg. B-1, C-1, the only
known dies, R.5 as proof. All 1833 Classic half cents were struck
from a single set of dies. Breen (1983) suggests that the proofs
may have been struck to commemorate the opening of the new
Philadelphia Mint in January 1833. Perhaps 50 specimens are extant,
among which is this deeply toned example. Blue-green shades
intermingle with chocolate-brown and blue accents. The obverse
reveals a lighter brown spot at the juncture of Liberty's headband
and the field, one of the primary identifiers of this rare coin.
Aesthetically pleasing brightness in the fields shows as the coin
is rotated under a light source. Uncommonly sharp striking
definition further confirms this coin's status as a proof. EAC
