1832 Classic Head Half Cent. C-3. Rarity-1. MS-64 BN (PCGS). CAC. Outstanding satiny surfaces also exhibit exceptional gloss to richly original autumn-brown patina. Glints of original mint color in faded pinkish-rose are evident in the protected areas around many of the peripheral devices, especially the stars on the obverse. Razor sharp striking detail and a silky smooth texture provide additional appeal for a coin that is certainly as attractive as many Gem Mint State Classic Head half cents that your cataloger (JLA) has had the privilege of handling over the last 20+ years. Repunching to the letters D in STATES, ES in STATES, M in AMERICA, and a patch of die rust around the letters CE in CENT readily identify this reverse die, which was used only in the 1832 Cohen-3 pairing. This thoroughly PQ example is sure to sell for a strong bid.
