Excellent near Gem 1832 Half Cent Offered

Coxe

I listed this on eBay in their 20 cent promotion even though I have been very reluctant to sell it for years now. It is an uncommonly nice specimen for a date that just doesn't appear all that often problem-free and in high grade. There are about 4 days left in the sale but thought I would give the heads up here to in case someone was looking for the date or even wanted it as a much better type coin. It is a Cohen-2, Breen-2 late die state II, with both obverse and reverse radial cracks. Looks a lot nicer than expected for both MS64 and for Brown. It was my anchor for the Classic date set run and was selected over a decade ago (and had to bid well for it even then). If I go back to half cents, I'll probably stick to the earliest ones, though this is a tough one to say "bye" to.

Going off in an hour.

I also have incredible braided hair ones from my original set: 1849 NGC 65BN, 1855 NGC 65RB and 1857 NGC 64RD in case anyone wants to consider them before I list them at eBay (probably after the holidays).
