Heritage Auctions will be offering an 1847 First Restrike half cent in our September Long Beach sale. This piece is one of just two or three known, and it has a provenance back to the 1906 Chapman sale of the H.P. Smith Collection, and the 1912 Henry Chapman sale of the George Earle Collection. In that regard, I am seeking anyone who has an annotated copy of the Earle catalog. I would like to know the buyer of Lot 3673 in that sale. Please email markb@ha.com.
