Half Cents 1845 Breen 1-C Rarity-6 PCGS graded Proof-65 Red & Brown. Second Restrike. <b>The obverse is mint red mellowing to light steel brown, about 40% of the red remaining. The reverse is bluish steel brown with underlying faded mint color showing through in protected areas. The fields are reflective but the mirrors are not deep. No notable hairlines or other signs of contact, but there are about a half dozen very tiny specks of dark toning (not carbon) on the obverse, the largest of these at the dentils under 45. The reverse is pristine. EAC grade Proof-63+. Comes with a long provenance.</b> Ex Richard B. Winsor, S. H. & H. Chapman 12/16/1895:1052-Ed. Frossard-unknown-Abe Kosoff 4/21/56:477 (T. J.
