1/2 Cent (Vendue pour $975000.0)
-E1QKbzbi64oAAAFLZQWjltOK.jpg "1/2 Cent États-Unis d")
1811 C-1 R4. PCGS graded MS-66 Red & Brown. CAC Approved. Beautiful electric blue steel with mint red covering 20% of the obverse, 10% of the reverse. Virtually flawless with stunning eye appeal, a highlight of this superb collection. The only identifying marks are a barely visible hairline from star 2 to the field right of star 6 and a speck of darker toning midway between the F in OF and adjacent A. The fields are smooth and reflective with moderately deep mirrors on the obverse and shallow mirrors on the reverse, where those fields are covered with very fine nearly vertical die polishing lines that restrict the reflectivity. Identical die state to the Norweb proof (or specimen strike), but this example has better color and far fewer defects than the Norweb piece (Bowers & Merena 10/12/1987:67). However, the Norweb example had a slightly sharper strike on the upper stars and lower part of the wreath. The status of this piece as a proof, presentation, or specimen strike is subject to debate, but the fantastic eye appeal is not at issue. Our grade is MS65 Prooflike. Plated on page 77 in the second edition of the Cohen book and on the color plate at the back of the Breen encyclopedia where he showcases the "WOW" half cents, one for each year. This coin finished first for the die variety in the competitive Half Cent Happenings held at the Early American Coppers (EAC) annual conventions in 1998 and 2011. Weight 85.0 grains. The attribution and Missouri Cabinet provenance are shown on the PCGS label. PCGS population 1; the finest graded for the variety. (PCGS # 35240) . Estimated Value $200,000-UP.
