1857 1/2 C MS64 Red NGC. C-1, B-1, R.2. The final date
<B>1857 1/2 C MS64 Red NGC.</B></I> C-1, B-1, R.2. The final date of the denomination, as the half cent (as well as the Large cent) was obsoleted in favor of the copper-nickel Flying Eagle small cent. 1857 is a scarcer date, and the mintage of 35,180 pieces is the smallest of any business strike Coronet half cent. This brick-red near-Gem has a reasonable strike and an especially clean reverse. Moderate obverse carbon is all that limits the grade. Housed in a prior generation holder.
