1842 1/2 C Restrike PR64 Red and Brown PCGS.
1842 1/2 C Restrike PR64 Red and Brown PCGS. B-2, Low R.7. Series III. The doubled T in CENT characterizes this variety, which Breen (1983) described as a First Restrike. Although we cannot weigh this coin because of the PCGS slab, the tiny die lump (as produced) at the outside point of star 4 identifies this coin as a Series III striking. A needle-sharp specimen that reveals rose, orange, and aqua hues when rotated under a light. A curly lintmark (as made) northeast of the F in HALF will identify this attractive example. NGC has certified only seven restrike 1842 Half Cents, some of which may be the Second Restrike (Breen-3) variety. Important notice: Heritage usually auctions material at the rate of 200-250 lots per hour. On some occasions eBay Live bid software or the Internet may not be able to keep up with the pace of the auction. We recommend placing a realistic absentee bid now as insurance to avoid disappointment. Occasionally the auctioneer may eliminate or reject an eBay Live bid, and the auctioneer may also reopen a lot after the close of the eBay live bidding (usually because we missed an audience bid), and may reject your bid even if it shows you as the winning bidder. By bidding via eBay Live, you agree that Heritage may award the lot to another bidder at its sole discretion under the circumstances described above or any other reasonable circumstances. Also please note that all Heritage lots purchased through eBay Live carry a 20% Buyer's Premium. Please make sure you read the Terms and Conditions before you bid.
