H.01 1846 RESTRIKE REV 1840 PCGS PR65BN MISSOURI

This was one of the few Restrikes we focused on buying from day one. Not only is the quality all there, but how often can you recall EVER seeing ANY 1846 GEM Proof copper? Hardly ever!

A partial copy of the Missouri description: “The obverse is bluish steel brown with faded mint red in the protected areas while the reverse is golden light brown. The fields are nicely reflective with moderate to deep mirrors on both sides. There is a small spot of darker toning close over the inner hair bun and a smaller speck low on the neck over the bust, plus another in the field below the chin. Excellent eye appeal in spite of the trivial defects”. They go on to discuss the extra thick planchet.

We’d like to to add, the details are needle sharp and have light frost. The color is completely ORIGINAL. This coin looks great and is a true GEM by anyone’s tough standards!

It is estimated LESS then 20 pieces were struck. PCGS 3, NGC 2, CAC 2. This the first time ANY GEM 1846 H.01 Proof has sold at auction. Back in 2011 at Stacks, a PR64 sold for $8,050.00. If you love PR half Cents, this is a tremendous value and a tremendous specimen!
