- 1833 Classic Head Half Cent. C-1, the only known dies. Rarity-1. MS-65 RB (PCGS). CAC. OGH.
Glorious Gem-quality surfaces exhibit fiery rose-red color to a softly frosted mint finish. Far more Red than Brown, we note only the lightest iridescent golden-brown toning to both sides. Fully struck, expertly preserved and a delight to behold. The Guide Bookprovides a mintage of 103,000 coins for this issue but, based on a study of die states, Manley concludes that production of 1833-dated and 1834-dated examples overlapped, the Mint apparently switching back and forth between the obverse dies as the issues share the same reverse. One of the more popular type candidates in the Classic Head half cent series of 1809 to 1836, hundreds of Mint State examples of the 1833 were discovered by the Guttag Brothers of New York City during the 1930s. Finer than typically encountered in today's market, this scarce upper end Gem represents an important bidding opportunity for the advanced collector.
