1831. PCGS. XF-45.$39,995.00Original. Only about 30 original 1831 half cents are believed extant which includes proofs and business strikes. There is some debate as to whether the 9 coins PCGS has graded as regular strikes are in fact circulated proofs. Mint figures state that 2,200 business strikes were minted but figures from this era can be inaccurate. The present example has exceptionally nice chocolate brown surfaces which are problem-free with zero porosity. The detail is solid for the grade and he eye appeal is very strong. A very rare and highly desirable half cent!
