Lot Description

An amazing GEM, tied with the Missouri Cabinet-Bob Simpson example for FINEST graded by PCGS in the BN category. Only a single die pair was used to strike this year's entire mintage of half cents. C-1, B-1 is considered to be Rarity-1 overall, but is still VERY RARE in GEM or finer grades. Even chocolate brown surfaces are aglow with a full cartwheel luster. As the brilliance sweeps across the surfaces, a bronzed reddish mahogany coloration comes to the fore with soft teal blue accents that come out at certain angles. Sharply struck and displaying hard, smooth overall surfaces, the eye appeal is exceptional. PCGS 7, NGC 6, CAC 4. The Missouri Cabinet-Simpson coin sold most recently, selling for $10,800 in September 2020. That coin had very noticeable carbon spots on the obverse. The current PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $12,000. There are NONE FINER at PCGS and this Classic Head half cent is perfect for a fantastic type or date set. Do not let this coin get away! Cert. Number 34590660 PCGS # 1162
