1846 B-2 First Restrike Half Cent, PR65+ Red and Brown
Extremely Rare Variety

1846 First Restrike, B-2, High R.7, PR65+ Red and Brown NGC. CAC. Our EAC grade PR63. 80.2 grains. Only four examples of the 1846 First Restrike half cents are thought to survive today: the Norweb coin (PR64 Red and Brown PCGS); the Leon Bookman example; the Missouri Cabinet piece (PR66 Brown PCGS); and this Gem (PR65+ Red and Brown NGC) that is recorded in the Breen-Hanson Condition Census but not listed in Richard T. Coleman, Jr.'s roster. The present coin is tied with the Missouri Cabinet piece for finest known. This sharply detailed Gem proof has nicely mirrored fields and sharp design elements with substantial mint red on both sides. Faint bluish-brown toning prevents a Red designation. Census: 2 in PR65 Red and Brown (1 in PR65+), 0 finer for both restrike varieties (3/21).
Ex: Jon Hanson (7/17/1973); Donald G. Partrick.(Registry values: P4)
