1832 C-3, B-3 Half Cent, MS65 Brown
Manley Plate Coin

1832 1/2 C C-3, B-3, R.1, MS65 Brown PCGS. CAC. Eckberg estimates a surviving population of 1,600 examples, the highest 1832 population by a thin margin.

Obverse 1 appears on Breen-1, 2, and 3. New star punches were used for the first time in 1832. The stars are smaller than those found in previous issues of the design. The left edge of the hair curl is below the center of the 2 in the date that uses the small punches first employed in 1831. Reverse C appears on Breen-3. The highest leaf point is just past the right edge of the final S. The N and D in UNITED, the A, E, and S in STATES, and the first A and M in AMERICA are all recut. Several letters of HALF CENT are outlined.

This is a frosty and fully lustrous Gem, the strike is sharply defined with excellent eye appeal. A few scattered marks fail to diminish the grade of this example. A small spot over the D of UNITED will aid in tracking the provenance.
