      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 Reverse 1840, Small Berries variety of the 1836 Proof Half Cent is known as the second restrike type struck. This variety?s reverse does NOT possess the line or dot that its original counterpart displays. There were 42 pieces minted in 1836 that include all known varieties with this restrike only known to exist in the single digits. Clearly a very rare coin worth anywhere between fifteen thousand to over thirty-five thousand dollars depending on the grade.
