1843 Original Half Cent, PR65 Red and Brown
B-1, Beautifully Toned Coin

1843 1/2 C Original, B-1, R.5, PR65 Red and Brown NGC. A stunning array of colors grace the surfaces of this pristine half cent, ranging from citrus-orange to steel-rose, lime-green, and sky-blue to create exceptional eye appeal. All details are clad in strong relief, and abrasions are minimal. The 1843 Original is one of the more available issues in the enigmatic proof half cent series, and is rated R.5. However, any assessment of availability must be taken in the context of the series, as this issue still likely has less than 50 examples known. In addition to the splendid color, another notable aspect of this example is its NGC Gen 4 holder that lists the denomination as a cent instead of a half cent, providing two interesting features to slab enthusiasts.(Registry values: P3)
