Description
The 1835 Proof Classic Head Half Cent is a proof half cent struck at the Philadelphia Mint, part of the Classic Head Half Cents 1809-1836 series. The Mint kept no count of these proofs; NGC puts the survivors at about 18. The obverse features Liberty facing left wearing a fillet or headband inscribed LIBERTY and the reverse displays a wreath enclosing HALF CENT. As a proof issue, this coin was struck multiple times on specially prepared polished planchets using polished dies, producing mirror-like fields. Struck in copper, weighing 5.44 grams, 23.5 mm in diameter, with a plain edge. Cataloged as PCGS #1204.
