Lot Description

1832 Classic Half Cent. C-1. Rarity-2. MS-64 BN (NGC). Boldly struck by the dies with full curls on Liberty and stars surrounding, the reverse with strong leaves that show all the tiny veins within. This is the accessory "E" variety with the tail end of an extra E dangling down from the wreath below the E of STATES and an additional chip of a serif seen well below that feature. Pleasing faded mint color to brown with no specks or spots to distract the eye aside from a faint carbon speck on the check. A desirable coin for the specialist.
