The obverse and reverse are illustrated in the color plates at the back of the Breen encyclopedia. A fabulous half cent. Our grade is Proof-65. Weight 83.6 grains. The attribution and Missouri Cabinet provenance are shown on the PCGS label. PCGS population 1; the only one graded for the variety. (PCGS # 35298) .
