1825 Classic Head Half Cent. C-1. Rarity-3. MS-63 BN (PCGS). Secure Holder.A remarkable condition rarity from the 1825 Cohen-1 half cent dies. The obverse is mostly orange-brown in appearance, while the reverse exhibits bolder toning in mottled steel-brown. Both sides are fully struck with an overall smooth satin texture, glints of peripheral luster further enhancing this coins desirability. The scarcer of the two known die marriages of the issue, C-1 is a major rarity in Mint State. Even the fabled Cohen and Eliasberg collections could only muster AUs, while the Garrett collection lacked an example of this variety. Clearly an important offering for the advanced half cent enthusiast, this lovely Choice Uncirculated example is sure to see spirited at auction.
