Description

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

1844 1/2 C Restrike PR65+ Red and Brown PCGS. B-3, R.6. For the 1844, original proofs tend to be more available than restrikes, although PCGS estimates 15 to 20 pieces extant for each. 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)
