1851 1/2C, RB MS (PCGS#1225)

The Regency Auction 49

详细说明: Ex Partrick as noted on the insert. Precious few 1851 half cents display this much RED color. This C-1, B-1 is tied for second highest graded by PCGS in the RB category and is VERY RARE in full red. This pedigreed specimen has almost full red color, and is just softly mellowed with a warm overtone on both sides. Sharply struck, the surfaces are smooth and quite pleasing with no spots or discolorations. Just a hint of contact on the reverse keeps this coin from a full GEM grade. The eye appeal is excellent. Ex. Leeds Sale, lot 1037; Henry Chapman; New Netherlands' Sale 59, June 1967, lot 1172; Donald G. Partrick Collection; Heritage's sale of the Partrick Collection, April 2021; lot 3775 as NGC MS64 RB. PCGS 31, NGC 16, CAC 16. This coin realized a record for the RB designation of $4,560 in April 2021 as an NGC coin. Just three MS65 RBs have ever been graded finer, none of which have ever sold in auction. Our consignor tried this coin several times for a RED designation, that is how RED this RB is! This is a great opportunity for the type coin or half cent specialist! Cert. Number 42139724 PCGS # 1225
