Attractive 1807 C-1, B-1 Half Cent, MS61 Brown

1807 1/2 C MS61 Brown PCGS. C-1, B-1, R.1. Manley Die State 3.0. The reverse is rotated about 45 degrees counterclockwise on this late die state specimen. The satiny surfaces have an orange-peel texture that is the result of considerable die erosion from a well-used obverse die. Aside from a fine hairline beneath the date, the surfaces are exceptionally well preserved. Mint records indicate that 476,000 half cents were coined in 1807, suggestive of an extremely common date, but that is hardly the actual case, as the majority of pieces were dated 1806. In addition to its elusiveness in high grade, there is also only one die variety known for the date, meaning it has added pressure from date collectors. EAC 55.(Registry values: P5)

Coin Index Numbers: (PCGS# 1104, Greysheet# 504)
