      Obverse Description: Lady Liberty is portrayed with a capped bonnet, facing left, in what is referred to as the so-called classic head style. The word LIBERTY appearing on her headband. 13 stars appear left and right in a 7x6 formation.
      Reverse Description: The words UNITED STATES OF AMERICA around the periphery surround a wreath framing the words HALF CENT. The wreath is tied by a bow at the bottom.
      General Notes: The 1835 Proof Half Cent is one of the issues of the Classic Head design, in any grade that is known to be a type coin, along with the 1833 and 1834. Surprisingly enough the original mintage is low for the series with 18 pieces struck and most are still known to exist. Overall, this coin still quite valuable as there are not many examples to choose from. Yet, examples do come up for auction frequently enough for high-end type collectors or any lover of Half Cents to bid on. Collectors of toned coins may also like this issue since it seems to present premium coloring when found with the brown color designation. Bright red examples do exist as well if that is what peaks your interest.
