1841 B-1 Original Half Cent, PR63 Brown
Ideal Type Candidate

1841 Original, B-1, Low R.5, PR63 Brown NGC. CAC. Our EAC grade PR55. 81.8 grains. The obverse crack is weak but complete from stars 3 through 7. Among the proof-only half cent issues, the 1841 Original is the best choice for type collectors, with nearly 70 examples known today. Like the 1840 Original half cent, this piece is interesting as it has traces of a flattened Reeded edge. Splashes of steel toning appear on the chocolate-brown surfaces of this piece that has an area of deeper toning within the wreath. Census: 3 in PR63 Brown, 10 finer (3/21).
