1809 C-1 R4. Fine-15 Plus. Sharpness VF25 but the planchet is covered with extremely faint roughness that reduces the natural gloss. The portrait and highpoints of the other devices also display microscopic hairline scratches that are well hidden in the slightly glossy dark steel and olive brown patina. A short hairline scratch under star 4 and a pinprick over the E in CENT may be the best identifying marks on this piece. MDS, Manley state 2.0, with a light die crack passing through the top of MERICA. An imperfect half cent but this is a tough die variety that never comes perfect. CC#6 in a census that does not include any piece grading EF or better.
Estimated Value $4,000-UP.
Ex Michael Spurlock-Chris McCawley 12/06.


 
Realized $6,900
