Description
Gem Proof 1847 Half-Cent
1847 Second Restrike PR 66 Brown NGC. According to Breen, only 18 or so examples are known of this proof-only date. The diagnostic die file marks are visible on the reverse above RICA, as the same reverse die was used for all second restrikes. The obverse is a deep, cobalt-blue color with crimson-red highlights at the border, the reverse is a shade or two lighter. For pedigree purposes, one tiny circular planchet flake is noted in the field near Liberty's throat. This is the finest example thus far graded by NGC (4/97).Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 26ZH, PCGS# 1293, GSID# 627)
