An exceptional survivor from an extremely limited mintage of just 21 Proofs, the 1843 Half Cent ranks among the more elusive issues in the Proof copper series. This example is an Original strike, a critical distinction for specialists, and is further enhanced by its placement in a first-generation PCGS holder (OGH)—often associated with conservative grading and long-held originality.
Certified PCGS PR63 BN and endorsed with a CAC sticker, this coin sits comfortably in the upper tier of known examples, offering both technical quality and eye appeal.
The surfaces are deep brown and beautifully mirrored, with rich undertones of rose, violet, and sea-green that add depth and character without obscuring the underlying reflectivity. The coin exhibits a full, bold strike, with crisp definition across all design elements.
Preservation is notable for the grade, with clean fields and minimal distractions, allowing the coin’s original surfaces and vibrant coloration to take center stage. The combination of ultra-low mintage, Original Proof status, CAC approval, and OGH pedigree makes this an especially desirable offering.
A gorgeous and historically significant Proof half cent, ideal for the advanced early copper specialist or high-end type collector. Visit www.davidlawrence.com for more information on this coin and 7000+ more coins.
