Description
1842 Original Half Cent, B-1, PR64 Brown
One of the Scarcer Original Proofs
1842 1/2 C Original, B-1, R.6, PR64 Brown NGC. CAC.
Steel-blue, sky-blue, mustard, and sage collude to create wonderful
toning on the surfaces of this Proof half cent. Strike is
exquisite, and a couple of errant nicks on and below the A in HALF
are the only abrasions of note. This is one of the scarcer issues
of Original proof half cents. Breen records 14 and PCGS estimates
12 to 15. Coleman lists 18 examples and the Bowers-Whitman Guide
Book estimates 15 to 20. PCGS has only certified six Brown
examples, with NGC adding just four more (7/25). This example does
not appear to match any of the coins listed in Richard Coleman's
September 2003 census in Penny-Wise.(Registry values: P5)From The Siesta Key Collection.
Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 26Z7, PCGS# 1260, Greysheet# 594)
