Lot 158
1800 Draped Bust Half Cent. . C-1, R2. PCGS graded MS-63 Brown. Lustrous bluish steel brown with a swipe of lighter brown toning at the right edge of both sides. The surfaces are satiny and show only a few trivial marks, including a thin diagonal nick high on the bust and a spot of darker toning over the first 0 in the date. M-LDS, Manley state 4.0. The highpoints of the portrait are blunted a bit by very shallow low spots caused by debris stuck on the die. The reverse is sharply struck and nearly choice. EAC grade MS60. The Hesselgesser provenance is noted on the PCGS label.
Estimated Value $1,500 - 3,000.
