Not Sold Description
Proof 1854 Half Cent
1854 PR 64 Red and Brown NGC. Unlike other dates in the half cent series, there were no restrikes for 1854. All proofs show a diagnostic rust pit on the top of the I in UNITED, as does this piece. The proofs of this date are considered a Low R.6 with Breen believing a few dozen pieces may still exist today. The fields are deeply reflective. The obverse shows variegated bright orange, blue, and cherry-red coloration, while the reverse has a more even sky-blue with red peripheries. An upper-end coin for the grade. This is the only coin so graded with none finer (6/96).Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 26ZV, PCGS# 1324, GSID# 676)
