Description

Rare 1805 C-2, B-2 Small 5, Stems Half Cent, Fine

1805 1/2 C Small 5, Stems Fine 12 PCGS. C-2, B-2, High R.5. The reverse with stems in wreath and a leaf directly below the first S in STATES. This violet-brown example, though significantly worn, retains strong, elegant eye appeal. Minimally marked surfaces are particularly pleasing. A solid example of this rare die pair. The C-2 die combination is substantially rarer than the other Small 5, Stems variety (C-3) that shares the same PCGS coin and price data. This example approaches the Condition Census for the variety. It is only the third appearance of an 1805 C-2 half cent in any of our auctions since 1993. EAC 8. Population: 6 in 12, 10 finer (6/08).(Registry values: P5)

Coin Index Numbers: (PCGS# 1087, Greysheet# 489)

Weight: 5.44 grams

Metal: 100% Copper
