No one really knows what the P stands for at the face, but it was clearly minted this way. A dark chocolate brown specimen with some even, fine porosity, yet remains somewhat glossy. (For accuracy, the reverse of the holder has a break/crack on the inside).
Beautifully preserved midgrade example!
PCGS# 800826. Pop 1 with only 4 examples graded finer.
Popular post-Colonial issue struck between 1792-1794, the Kentucky Cents (or Tokens) actually were minted in England and distributed in the colonies.
<span style="color:#333333;font-family:'Source Sans Pro', Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif;font-size:18px;background-color:#ffffff;">PCGS #35080. Punctuation die flaw between the 1 and 7 of the date plainly evident. The Hansen Collection is home to a MS61BN example for the date. Nice remaining red with frosty luster.</span>
A near-mint state example of this early half cent issue. Beautiful copper-brown surfaces shimmer and no distracting marks are visible. A bold "1" can be seen over the 1 in the date. Great details in the hair show little sign of wear. A slight weak strike can be seen on the "Y" in Liberty on the obverse and on the reverse over America.
Popular collector date and draped bust half cent type coin. Wholesome brown color and unbroken luster with a nice strike!

Popular and surprisingly affordable early type coin in lovely Mint State condition. Frosty surfaces showcase bold details and pleasing deep chocolate throughout. Nice!
The number one set hosts a AU53 example of this overdate.
The 1811-dated Half Cents are likely far rarer than mintage numbers conclude. As most were made earlier in the year, they most likely held a date of a previous issue. As a result, it is estimated that as few as 25,000-30,000 pieces were produced, making it a very difficult date to obtain in all grades. This is the most affordable example that we have handled and while it is indeed a subject of environmental issues, the details are quite nice and it's a perfect piece for the "affordable" set.
Not all early half cents are created equal. Case in point: This little beauty. Dynamic toning unlike most you'll see for the grade.
Natural Red-Brown color throughout with no discoloration or verdigris present. A tough coin to locate with so much original mint red. CAC approved for quality and eye appeal.
Lots of mint red remaining and no ugly or distracting spots. CAC approved for quality and eye appeal.
A wonderful, near-gem type coin with glossy brown surfaces and no distracting carbon spots.
This beautifully preserved gem boasts exceedingly sharp details and plenty of original mint red-orange color. The rich red color is especially vibrant on the reverse and is featured along the rims of the obverse while the central devices display a steely blue patina. Only a single red-brown example has been graded finer!
Nice type coin with no major distractions and strong luster for the grade. Original, deep purple undertones and excellent eye appeal! CAC approved for quality and eye appeal.
Simply one of the prettiest half cents you will find. "Brown" fails to properly describe this beauty as soft, pinks, golds, and purple colors dance across the fields. An easy decision for CAC.
Wonderful gem type coin! Boldly defined and beautifully preserved surfaces retain nice touches of original mint red, especially vibrant on the reverse.
