Description

1833 C-1, B-1 Half Cent, PR66 Red and Brown
One of the Latest Proofs Made

1833 C-1, B-1, R.5 as a Proof, PR66 Red and Brown NGC. Our EAC grade PR63. CAC Breen Die State IV. Manley Die State 1.0. The Chapman brothers held two sales of the Harlan P. Smith Collection. Their May sale included the main collection and their June sale offered duplicates from the collection. The New Netherlands cataloger described this piece is one of the latest proofs made and struck from clashed and cracked dies, "but a proof beyond possible doubt." A few small obverse toning spots match the New Netherlands plate for this coin that retains mint red on its reflective light brown surfaces. Census: 1 in PR66 Red and Brown, 0 finer (3/21).
