1844 Half Cent, Second Restrike
PR65+ Red and Brown, B-3

1844 1/2 C Restrike PR65+ Red and Brown NGC. B-3, R.6. For the 1844, original proofs are more available than restrikes. As of (11/19), NGC has certified nine pieces as originals, and only three as restrikes. B-3 is the second restrike, identified by small berries and die lines from the dentils near RICA. The very rare B-2 also has small berries, but shows doubling on the T in CENT. Originals have large berries. The present second restrike proof is sharply struck and nicely mirrored with unblemished surfaces. The obverse is fire-red and powder-blue with hints of lilac toning. The reverse has magenta patina with aquamarine and orange undertones. Our EAC grade PR63.(Registry values: P4)
