An Important Half Cent Rarity

1845 First Restrike, B-2, High R.7, PR65 Red and Brown NGC. Our EAC grade PR62. CAC. 81.6 grains. There are apparently only four of five examples of the 1845 First Restrike half cents known. Abe Kosoff acquired this coin as part of a group lot of large cents from the Palace Collection in 1954. Emery May Norweb purchased several pieces from that lot, including three that are in the present sale. Walter Breen enumerated four examples in his Series I, and mentioned two proofs of Series III. The four pieces in Richard T. Coleman, Jr.'s listing are identified as his Group I coins. This Gem has light olive and brown toning with splashes of faded mint red. Census: 2 in PR65 Red and Brown, 0 finer for both restrike varieties (3/21).
