Proof Braided Hair Half Cents
1848 1/2 C First Restrike, B-2, R.5, PR63 Red PCGS. Housed in a green label holder with original coppery-pink and orange surfaces that have a few scattered specks and marks, consistent with the grade. The strike is sharp, and the fields are deeply reflective. This issue shows small berries on the wreath and recutting on the T in CENT. There are perhaps 25 or 30 restrike proof 1848 half cents known to survive, although only a handful of these are full Red coins. PCGS lists four Red examples, including one each in PR62, PR63, PR64, and PR67 (8/17). This Select example will be an important acquisition for the proof half cent collector. Our EAC grade PR63.
