Lot Description

1835 Classic Head Half Cent. C-1. Rarity-1. MS-64 RD (NGC). Outstanding satin surfaces are hard, tight and smooth apart from a few trivial carbon flecks. Both sides are sharply to fully struck with superior eye appeal that is sure to result in keen bidder interest. Likely from the Elmer Sears hoard discovered circa 1935, which included numerous Mint State 1835 C-1 half cents, many with considerable mint red color remaining. If so, this is certainly one of the finer examples from that group, and it is a coin that will please even the most discerning numismatist. Manley Die State 1.0. PCGS# 1170.
