A CHOICE B-2, C-2. This lovely coin likely originated in the Elmer Sears hoard, which Walter Breen notes contained "at least a bag of a thousand spotty mint red examples," that was discovered in the mid 1930s. Today, the populations show much less than that number in RB and RD graded, suggesting that this was another numismatic legend that adds color to our great hobby. There is a bold luster that rolls smoothly along the original red surfaces. There are some scuffs and old time flecks, which lead us to assume this is one of the old hoard pieces. To the naked eye this Classic Head half cent has a neat look. PCGS 32, NGC 7. The most recent example to sell brought $3,600 in February 2020 and the current PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $4,800. Anything finer will cost five figures in the RED category. An excellent type coin or piece for a date set. Cert. Number 16147364 PCGS # 1170
