1848 B-2 Half Cent, PR65 Red and Brown
Popular First Restrike Variety

1848 First Restrike, B-2, High R.5, PR65 Red and Brown NGC. CAC. Our EAC grade PR62. 83.7 grains. Among First Restrike half cents, the 1848 is encountered more often than most other issues, an important consideration for type collectors who might like to acquire a single example with this reverse. More than two dozen were discussed in the Breen-Hanson Condition Census while Richard T. Coleman, Jr. lists just over 40 entries. This piece from the Norweb Collection was identified in that catalog as Breen's Series I. This is a sensational example with mostly brilliant mint red surfaces and light brown toning on both sides. Liberty's portrait is especially bright and contrasts nicely with the fields. Census: 1 in PR65 Red and Brown, 2 finer for both restrike varieties (3/21).
