Lot 174
1800 Draped Bust Half Cent. . C-1. NGC graded MS-63 Brown and Del Bland graded MS-61. With some blunt striking on the hair and drapery. A couple points better but light carbon exists, mostly on the obverse, though not readily visible to the unaided eye and a few equally difficult to see abrasions are on the neck. Medium chocolate brown and mint red.
This is a beautiful half cent which any collector would be proud to own. Lovely color, surfaces and eye appeal throughout, with few signs of handling anywhere.
Estimated Value $1,300 - 1,800.
