1847 1/2 C Reverse of 1840, Second Restrike, B-3, High R.5, PR66 Brown PCGS. CAC. Ex: Missouri Cabinet Collection. Electric blue and violet toning appears on the olive-brown surfaces of this Premium Gem proof. The fields are slightly mirrored, contrasting with sharply defined devices that contain minimal contact marks or carbon flecks. The 1847 Second Restrike has a surviving population of about 30 pieces. It is the most plentiful proof variety of the 1840s, and would be an excellent candidate for a date or type collection.
