1852 1/2C Restrike, Small Berries, RB PR (PCGS#1318)

The Regency Auction 46

Description du lot: From an original mintage of only 75 pieces, the Restrike 1852 half cent is a challenging rarity. This is a B-2, which is considered Rarity-5. Despite the more modest PR63 grade, this coin has a great look with much reflection in the fields that really pick up the multicolored mottled toning. Shades of emerald, gold, amethyst, and original red come out. Every detail is razor sharp in definition from a beautifully executed strike. The only "flaw" worthy of mention is a minor strike though on the obverse between stars 12 and 13, as made at the mint. PCGS 2, NGC 1. This coin last sold in auction back in Heritage's September 2002 Long Beach auction, lot 5105. The NGC PR63 RB sold in May 2008 for $8,050. The current Collectors Universe value is $7,250. It goes without saying that anything finer is RARE! Cert. Number 4263899 PCGS # 35403.00
