Very Rare 1847 Restrike Braided Hair Half Cent NGC PR65RB

Sirhc

The 1847 Braided Hair half cent is an elusive proof-only issue. Both Originals and Restrikes are known. Originals are identified by large berries in the wreath, while Restrikes have small berries in the wreath. There are two variations of proof restrikes. First Restrikes have a doubled T in CENT, and for 1847 are extremely rare. Second Restrikes have short die marks over RICA of AMERICA. This offering is an example of the Second Restrike. In hand, it’s noticeably lighter, as well as more colorful than seen in our images. The NGC population is only 2 with 4 graded higher.

Listed at $13,700 in the CDN CPG and $17,000 in the NGC price guide.

Very Rare 1847-O Liberty Quarter Eagle PCGS MS63

Sirhc

 In 1847 the New Orleans Mint was less than a decade old, at least in terms of coinage manufacture — construction began in 1835 and was completed in 1839 — and the facility set numerous records in the year. The eagle coinage for 1847 was the single largest O-mint production, coming in at 571,000 pieces, and even today examples are readily available through the AU level.
The quarter eagle mintage was also generous, at 124,000 pieces, but surviving examples are scarce in AU condition and legitimately rare in Unc. The PCGS population is only 3 with 3 graded higher.

Listed at $21,000 in the CDN CPG and $22,500 in the PCGS price guide.

Offered at $21,900

1847 Liberty Eagle NGC MS64

Sirhc

Very Rare, Dazzling, Near-Gem

The two highest mintage issues of the No Motto Liberty ten series are the 1847 and 1847-O. Something happened that year to increase production, and the mostly likely cause was the Spanish-American War, which continued throughout 1847. Despite a comparatively large production, the 1847 is usually seen in XF and AU grades, uncirculated examples are tough to come by and choice uncirculated ones are almost unheard of. This is the only MS64 graded by NGC with none higher (though they have also recognized a single MS64PL, as well). This exquisite representative boasts flashy, semi-prooflike fields and some pleasing cameo contrast on each side.

Offered at $39,000 delivered
